    Be careful what you wish for—?again! This follow-up to You Don't Want a Unicorn! by New York Times bestselling author Ame Dyckman and beloved illustrator Liz Climo points out the hilarious mishaps that come with adopting a dragon.
     
    Our protagonist wishes (much to the narrator's continued chagrin) for a pet dragon. Though initially thrilled, the kid quickly discovers that dragons aren't quite as awesome as they originally thought. From the scooting to the digging to the fire-breathing, our Kid is dismayed that they still haven't found their perfect pet. Little do they know, that pet might just be right around the corner . . .
