"What a wonderful and otterly joyful romp for kids of all ages! Dynamic and humorous illustrations beautifully echo the surprises that await Dragon Cat as unexpected adventure shows up right at their door! For those who love The Cat in the Hat, Dragon Cat Wins the Lottery takes the reader on a wild ride through similarly exuberant chaos and carries the reader to a delightful finish." — Jessie K

"This book is a fun, creative, engaging way to get kids excited about reading! The look on my kiddos' faces when they realized the twist was priceless! They also loved the super unique ending and how much they get to interact with the book!" — Nicole T

"...super-cute and utterly daft..." — Farah G

"This book was so adorable, I loved everything about it..." — Ana R

"This would be great for a preschool or early childhood classroom as it offers hand-on activities...While silly at heart, it could be used as an age-appropriate talking point for young children regarding the dangers of gambling or being careful what you wish for." — Kim N

"If there is one sentence that shows how amazing this picture book is it's, 'Now that's a reason to put on pants'!! I could not stop laughing the entire time. This picture book was hilarious. I thought I would wish it was in color, but the art is pure perfection in its chaos. I love this so much and will absolutely be getting a copy so I can read it over and over again." — Jenn M

"The best part of the book? The last two pages are blank, so after your child colors in the beginning of the story, they can draw the ending! Wonderful affirmation for kids that they will be able to come up with a creative solution to the problem. Adorable book for little ones!" — Kerrie V

"This is a fun, whimsical childrens book which is at once a story, activity book and colouring book all together...it's an engaging take for younger readers...[T]he illustrations are fun and inviting. I love the affirmation when inviting the children to fill in the blanks that "you always know how to make things better" and the acceptance of glorious chaos, to help kids boost their confidence...this is a delightful little book." — Jen S
