This is fantastic. Indeed you never know what the kids like for their pets. The mom of the little girl longing for a pet bird seems to be highly imaginative. So imaginative that it appears out of the world, but then why not as long as it is as harmless as a dragon, a mythical creature of great popularity.

Both mother and daughter have powers of argument. The child persists and the mother convinces and finds a different way to gift her daughter on New Year's day.
""He's awesome. Thank you." She said, beaming widely as the dragon licked her. "He's so much better than a bird!""
Language and style are apt and make the story truly worthy for a child to read.
