Two Tails on the Trail: Harry's Dragon Tales Book 2 by Lisa Reinicke

Harry is a troll and he has a small female dragon as his companion.  They are sleeping when all of a sudden the smoke alarm goes off...

BooksGoSocial and Net Galley let me read this book for review (thank you).  It has beenpublished and you can get a copy now.

Harry finds that one of eggs he was going to have for breakfast just hatched another baby dragon!  This one is male.  He's blowing smoke and making the alarm go off.  He's cute but he doesn't respond very well to Harry's commands.

The dragons make messes, try to steal his food even when he gives them a plate of their own.  He takes them on a walk to o get more food that the people put out for Harry.  (A full troll is no danger to them.)  The dragons have trouble with their hobo sticks so Harry ends up carrying them all.

When they get home. he intends to give them a bath.  The female loves playing in the water.  The male has another opinion.  Harry has to fight with him to take a bath.

There's a glossary for the big words used, the illustrations are lovely, and I'm looking forward to the next book.  I think that male is going to be trouble...

David's Christmas Wish by Lisa Reinicke

All he wants for Christmas is a goldfish.  Forget the other presents.  Just get him a goldfish.  They did but it died right before Christmas...

The author shared a copy of this book with me for review (thank you).  It has been published and you can grab a copy now.

The only thing they can do is try to buy another one.  However, they're in the middle of a blizzard.  Dad can't even find the car.  So he dresses warmly and sets out for the pet store...

The story is cute and heartwarming.  Scot McDonald's illustrations make the snow feel cold.  This story is based on something that happened in the author's own family, so that makes the story even more special.

You might want to buy a goldfish to go with this book as a gift for a child.  Then the child and David can both be happy.
