The Dragon in the Sock Drawer by Kate Klimo illustrated by John Shroades

I was reading this book aloud to my 2nd grader and preschooler but stopped because my oldest was becoming freaked out by the hint of the mysterious dragon slayer.

Jesse lives with his cousin Daisy and her parents while his parents live abroad.  One day while rock hunting with his uncle, Jesse finds an unusual rock which sounds like it is talking to him!  A dragon eventually hatches out of it and the two cousins must research to discover how to care for the dragon.  A mysterious car seems to be following them.

The chapters were a bit long so maybe not a good fit for a reluctant reader.
Grade Level Equivalent: 4.2
