About this listen
Fans of How to Train Your Dragon will love this whimsical tale, the first in a series, by a Newbery Honor winner, featuring pet "training tips" in each section.
Crusty dragon Miss Drake has a new pet human, precocious Winnie. Oddly enough, Winnie seems to think Miss Drake is her pet - a ridiculous notion! Unknown to most of its inhabitants, the City by the Bay is home to many mysterious and fantastic creatures, hidden beneath the parks, among the clouds, and even in plain sight. And Winnie wants to draw every new creature she encounters: The good, the bad, and the ugly. But Winnie’s sketchbook is not what it seems. Somehow, her sketchlings have been set loose on the city streets! It will take Winnie and Miss Drake’s combined efforts to put an end to the mayhem...before it’s too late.
This refreshing debut collaboration by Laurence Yep, a two-time Newbery Honor winner and a Laura Ingalls Wilder Award winner, and Joanne Ryder.

This must be one of the best fiction audiobooks!
This must be one of the best fiction audiobooks I've ever listened to - both the story and the performance are incredibly good and funny. I've laughed out loud so many times, especially because Susan Denaker, the narrator, does such a great job at using an old and posh lady's voice when speaking as the dragon, Miss Drake. Almost reminds me of Dame Maggie Smith's voice from Downton Abbey. The story is filled with magic and the characters are interesting and have strong personalities, well-described places (but not to the point of boring). Absolutely charming and delightful book!
