While spending a day at the beach with his family, a little boy builds the perfect sandcastle, and a dragon moves in.  The dragon is actually a pretty good companion and they have a great day together.  However, when the food disappears and he blames the dragon, his parents have had enough and the little boy kicks his dragon out until he learns some better manners.  The next day it starts all over….. This story is beautifully illustrated as well as beautifully told and would make an excellent first purchase for a library.
