Customer Reviews

My almost 10 year old LOVED this book!

From a ten-year old- "This book was great! I liked that the dragon hatched from an egg that they thought was a rock because I like rocks. It is a good magical book!"

Fantastic dragon adventure.

My grandson loved Emma. This series is amazing. Wonderful for a young imagination. Thank you for this series.!!

Cool! by E.L. From Annapolis

If you like dragons you will like this book because this book is about a dragon that hides in a sock drawer. The Dragon in a Sock Drawer by Kate Klimo is a fantasy and the setting is day and night and on a high peek and in a house. Jessie and Daisy are very alert because they knew what was going on. One problem was this doctor came and took the dragon to his lab. They also had a problem finding what she would eat. The dragon, Emmy, is my favorite character because she hides in a sock drawer which was where the kids hid her. The dragon reminded me of a kid in my class that is silly. My text-to-self connections is that my mom and I sometimes make a mess in the kitchen, just like Jessie and Daisy. I like this book because it has a dragon who has to hide in a sock drawer. My favorite part is when they made a mess in the kitchen trying to find Emmy some food. My least favorite part was when the doctor took the dragon to his lab. Instead of a doctor I would have liked an animal shelter person to come to their door. I think boys and girls, ages 7-11 would enjoy this book.

This is the story of ten-year-old cousins Jesse and Daisy, who look every day for something magical to happen to them. They find what they believe is a geode called a Thunder egg. The "Thunder egg," though, turns out to be a dragon egg - and thus begins the story of two young Dragon Keepers. I thoroughly enjoyed THE DRAGON IN THE SOCK DRAWER from beginning to end. Jesse and Daisy learn as the days pass how to take care of their new charge. The story flowed very well and I can't wait to read more about the Dragon Keepers. I think this story would be good for any child, although it is recommended for 9-12 year olds. I was very happy to see two characters this young stand up for themselves and their dragon. I highly recommend this book, as it will capture the attention of kids and adults alike. Reviewed by: Breia "The Brain" Brickey

this is the best book ever!

I think this is the best book in the whole world. I think that everyone should read it. I read it in one day because it's so awesome and I can't wait `till the second one comes out. If I could, I would rate this a ten star book. Dear Kate kilmo, You are the best author I have ever known. I hope you finish the second book very soon and Know that I'm your biggest fan. -Rachel Collier =]

A wonderful tale!

My 6-year-old son and I both read this and and absolutely LOVED it. So much fun and the characters are so likeable. Can't wait to read the next one and the next and the next!
