In this follow-up to ME AND MY DRAGON, a boy runs into an unexpected problem when preparing to go trick-or-treating for Halloween: his pet dragon is scared silly of this spooky holiday! Zombies, werewolves, mummies . . . they all make Dragon run and hide. How will the boy convince Dragon that these things aren’t real, and what costume will the duo come up with for this unconventional pet?

David Biedrzycki packs in the humor in his latest book for young readers. From the cover to cover, children will enjoy his hilarious illustrations which include a series of rejected costume ideas for Dragon. Every last detail has something for readers to giggle about, including a scene of the boy reading books with titles like GHOSTS DON'T SAY BOO and newspaper articles with headlines such as "Scientist Reports Monsters Would Actually Be Scared of Us," to allay his pet’s fears.

Children and adults alike will enjoy the latest antics of the boy and his pet dragon.

Me and my dragon like all the same things. We love birthday parties. We're crazy about parades. Fireworks dazzle us. We enjoy the same stuff — except for trick-or-treating. I love Halloween. Dragon, not so much.
