Description
It's summertime, and you're invited for a rollicking day at the pool with Charlie and his pet dragon (and best friend!), Rosie. But be careful-swimming with a dragon can be, um, challenging. As Rosie and Charlie blow bubbles (don't forget your umbrella!), practice flutter kicks (watch out for tidal waves!), and offer shoulder rides (hang on tight!), Rosie proves that dragons make the most fun pets ever. Now if only Charlie can keep Rosie's attention focused on the rules at the pool and NOT on her gummy snacks (you know, the ones that cause stinky dragon breath!)...Grab your towels and sunscreen and join Rosie and Charlie for a fun-filled summer adventure!

Reviews
"The digital illustrations are bright, playful, and attractive, well suited to the story...There are some young dragon lovers and fans of mischief who will revel in this silly romp." -Kirkus Reviews "Kerstein's playful story about friendship, patience, and responsibility for a pet is nicely matched by Wragg's bold, colorful illustrations, rendered in blocky shapes and a vivid color palette. New pet owners are the natural choice for this one, but kids with younger siblings might appreciate it, too." -Booklist
