The Good-For-Something Dragon BRB-11155
by Judith Ross Enderle and Stephanie Gordon Tessler

little fire-breather, Sir Simon gives him three days to prove that the
dragon is good for something other than setting fires in the castle.
Three days pass and John still has not proved his dragon is special. It

outside the castle walls and John and Sir Simon discover something
about Ashely they never imagined. 1993.
