If you liked The Boy Who Grew Dragons, then we think you'll really love this fully illustrated funny chapter books series for readers aged 5+. 

Eddie is a young boy trusted with an incredibly big task: he must look after his uncle's pet DRAGON, Ziggy, every time his uncle is off on a holiday. The only problem is Ziggy is a very naughty pet dragon who always seems to get himself (and Eddie) into lots of trouble

This is such a fun series by Josh Lacey, the author of the Hope Jones Save The World books and the Time Travel Twins books
