People such as Warren''s twin sister, Ellie, who challenges Warren to a contest at their new school: making 100 new friends. Warren isn''t so good at making friends, but he doesn''t like losing to Ellie, and Dragon will help him. But the first day of school doesn''t exactly turn out the way he''d hoped, and even worse, Dragon disappears! By the time Warren gets home, he''s not only not made any friends, he''s lost his best friend. First day of school jitters are entertainingly explored in this laugh-out-loud chapter book.

With Calvin and Hobbes appeal, a boy and his "pet" dragon take the school hamster home, to hilarious results!Warren is a seven-year-old boy. Dragon is part stuffed animal, part fierce dragon, and part best friend--depending on what you believe most. And Chewy is the class hamster. So when it''s Warren''s turn to take Chewy home for the weekend, Warren isn''t so sure it''s the best idea. Do dragons and hamsters mix? Not so well, it turns out, especially when Warren and Dragon are more interested in making cool stuff with their new friends than taking care of a rodent--until Chewy disappears. Oh no!

In this third chapter book about Warren and his alter-ego Dragon, an important lesson is learned in generosity . . . and exploding volcanoes!Warren has been invited to a birthday party by one of his new classmates, so it''s birthday present shopping time! And the first toy he spots, a Deluxe Volcano Building Set Supreme is perfect . . . for himself. It''s too much money, his mother tells him, choosing another gift for his classmate. But Warren can''t stop thinking about exploding volcanoes, and soon he and Dragon are thinking up ways to make money and buy the volcano set for themselves. A bake sale? A magic show? A car wash? All great ideas...that is until Warren''s sister misinterprets their personal fundraising for charity fundraising and decides that everything they earn should go to the local children''s hospital. Does this mean that Warren and Dragon will have to give away all the money they make? Goodbye Deluxe Volcano Building Set Supreme!
