There's a Dragon in My Toilet
Book three in a hilarious new series featuring one boy and a little dragon with an oversized appetite for adventure.

Auch das dritte Drachenalarm-Abenteuer hat uns grosses Lesevergnügen bereitet. Wir lernen nicht nur Pings Eltern, sondern auch seine weitere Verwandtschaft kennen, und die kann man sich ja bekanntlich nicht aussuchen...
Pings Eltern sind entsetzt als sie erfahren, dass Ping bei einem Menschen lebt und wollen, dass er wie anfangs geplant zu seinem Onkel und seiner Tante zieht, um dort als echter Mini-Drache aufgezogen zu werden. Natürlich sind Ping und Eric darüber sehr traurig, denn die Freunde wollen unbedingt zusammen bleiben. Als Onkel und Tante sogar höchstpersönlich in Erics Klo auftauchen, um den kleinen Drachen mitzunehmen, müssen sich die beiden einige Tricks einfallen lassen. Wird es ihnen gelingen, Pings Eltern umzustimmen?
Die Geschichte war wieder unglaublich spannend und gleichzeitig durchzogen von herrlicher Situationskomik. Mein Sohn hat richtig mitgefiebert, ob Ping bei Eric bleiben kann, und zum Glück gab es dann auch ein - für erwachsene Leser sicherlich vorhersehbares - Ende. Leider gibt es die Fortsetzung bisher noch nicht in deutscher Übersetzung, aber sie steht schon ganz oben auf dem Wunschzettel.

Reviewed for YA Books Central
This book is a winner the moment a reader lays eyes on that cover--and the title. My niece--who is picky about her books saw this one and asked if we could read it together. So, we did.
There's a little dragon who is missing his parents and his human who wants to help him.
Hilarity ensures just as I'd expect from a book titled There's a Dragon in my Toilet. They need to convince his aunt and uncle he's well taken care of by his human. It's up to Eric to convince others Pan can stay--which causes problems as you'd imagine.
This is the cutest book I've read with my niece in quite a while. It doesn't try to be anything it's not and that's probably the best thing about it. This book knows it's ridiculous and it plays into that perfectly to be funny. It knows readers have to suspend their disbelief to get into this, but after the first couple chapters, no one would have an issue with that.
Final Verdict:
A ridiculous story that is fun and hilarious. Every kid will love this.

I received this copy from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
I was a bit bemused by the title. If you had to list the places where you would least expect to find a fire-breathing entity such as a mini-dragon, then a toilet must be pretty high on the list. But then Pan is anything but predictable. It turns out though that Pan is NOT the dragon in the toilet – rather it is his Mexican uncle and aunt who have come to take him back to Mexico to be with dragon-kind. Pan, of course, does not want to go and it is up to Eric, Jayden and Min to help him convince his parents (via the secret mini-dragon communication method of the internet) to let him stay. Things do not go smoothly (no surprises there). Toby ends up with not one but two mini-dragons, and cannot get rid of them fast enough. A case of be careful what you wish for. Posy comes to the rescue, and Pan is able to finally show his parents that he is well looked after by Eric.
As usual the book is hilarious and heart-warming, with wonderfully expressive illustrations. Check out Pusskin attempting to swallow Uncle Fernando! I can barely wait for the next instalment.

This is the second book that I have read in this series (almost finished a third) and they are good, solid, fun reads. I like the characters and I love how they interact together and the trouble that they get up too. Even though he's a bit naughty at times, I'd love my own Pan!

Ping soll umziehen, von seinen Freunden weg denn Menschen zu seiner Drachenfamilie und dort ein normales Drachenleben führen, ob das gut geht?Ping will auf keinen Fall von Eric weg, ob ihnen das gelingt.
Die Geschichte war spannend aufgebaut und der Leser fiebert mit Ping mit, ob er es schafft seine Familie zu überzeugen doch bei Eric bleiben zu dürfen. Die Geschichte zeigt auf was Heimweh ist wie wichtig Freundschaften sind.
Sehr schön fand ich das wir in diesem Teil mehr von Ping und seiner Familie erfahren haben, wie seine Eltern sind. Es sind wie ich fand ganz normale Eltern die sich Sorgen machen um ihr Kind und nur das beste für das Kind wollen. Aber ist es immer das beste, auch wenn wir denken es ist so? Genau diesen Aspekt merkt man auch in diesem Buch.
Es ist super zu lesen für Leseanfänger und schön illustriert. Die Geschichte wird phantasievoll, anschaulich und spannend erzählt und man kann nicht anders als sich in die Charaktere zu verlieben.
Ich war begeistert, fasziniert und das Ende war für mich vorhersehbar, aber schön. Es war einfach ein spannendes Abenteuer mit denn liebevollen Charakteren. Es ist Spaß für Jung und Alt. Ich freue mich auf neue Abenteuer vom kleinen Drachen Ping und seinen Freunden.
