Review by Booklist Review
Ages 5-7. Billy Bixbee is quite surprised to find a small dragon in his room. His mother insists that ``there's no such thing as a dragon''; consequently, the creature is ignored and grows and grows and grows, taking over the entire house. Both of Kent's books are brimming with humor and poke fun at idiosyncrasies.

There's No Such Thing as a Dragon (1975) by Jack Kent, part of the Family Storytime series, relates the charming tale of Billy Bixbee, who awakens to find a dragon "about the size of a kitten" sitting on his bed. The dragon grows by leaps and bounds, until Billy dares to pet the attention-seeking creature and it shrinks back down into an adoring little lap dragon. ( Oct.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC.

Review by Horn Book Review
When Billy Bixbee wakes up and finds a dragon in his room, his mother tells him thereÆs no such thing. The neglected dragon grows larger and larger, eventually walking off with the house, and the Bixbee family is forced to admit his existence. Practically a classic in paperback for its neat story line and humorous cartoons of expressively surprised characters, this edition is welcome indeed. From HORN BOOK Spring 2002, (c) Copyright 2010.
