Dear Uncle Morton: Your dragons are still here. They have eaten the entire contents of the fridge and most of the cans in the pantry too. Arthur also swallowed three spoons and the remote control. Mom says they will probably come out the other end, but I'm not really looking forward to that. --Eddie




When Eddie takes Uncle Morton's dragons with him on Christmas vacation, it's not long before they're causing all sorts of mischief. Turns out, dragonsitting isn't getting any easier for Eddie. Throw in a castle, a sneezing dragon, and a big box of fireworks, and it looks like this trip might end with a bang!



The Dragonsitter's Castle will have readers laughing out loud and begging for more high-flying adventures!

3.0 out of 5 stars Boring for 5 yr old; some strange story elements that I did not care for
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2016
Verified Purchase
The book consists of many stories that start one day and follow the chronology of events. The stories are very short - short letters/emails sent on almost daily or even hourly basis.

My 5 year old usually will listen to any story as long as it is "new book". He especially loves dragons and any goofy characters and stories. This one.... he barely listened to couple stories, and lost interest. Honestly, I lost interest after about couple more. Maybe we will re-read it in 2-3 years.
The pictures are black&white. The story moves slow and hard to feel excited about. There is part of the story that involves the fact that the kids' parents are divorced and dad has a new girlfriend - I totally did not care for that aspect, and glad I did not have to explain it to 2 and 5 yr old (again, because they showed no interest after couple stories). And I wish I knew that from the text description.

4.0 out of 5 stars Niedliches kleines Buch für Lesefaule
Reviewed in Germany on September 13, 2017

Die Geschichten von dem Jungen, der als Babysitter für die Drachen seines Onkels tätig ist, sind zwar vom Inhalt her teilweise etwas flach/ an den Haaren herbeigezogen, aber das Format ist für lesefaule Grundschüler perfekt. Jede Seite beinhaltet eine E-Mail des Jungen an seinen Onkel oder dessen Antwort, die Menge an Text bleibt daher etwas übersichtlicher, als bei reinen Text-Büchern, ist einfach verständlich und trifft offenbar auch den Humor der Kinder. Für Drittklässler genau das Richtige :)
