Zoey and Sassafras : Dragons and Marshmallows

06/01/2024

There are some books that you re-read aloud to your kids - this book series takes the first spot for that.

Zoey is kind, compassionate, and intelligent at the same time very curious. She has a cat Sassafras. Zoey is also not afraid to ask questions. She also has a good trusting and respectful relationship with her parents. She also shows empathy and problem-solving abilities. Zoey is very considerate about the environment and very interested in Science and related experiments.

In this story, Zoey can see magical creatures, so she is entrusted to take care of them in the absence of her mother. She is not well-versed with the feeding amount, schedule, or treatment steps for these magical beasts, but she uses the scientific method to solve this problem to care for these creatures. For example, one day when a tiny, sick dragon appears on Zoey's doorstep, she and her cat find out through an experiment that the best food for the little dragon is marshmallows. However, she didn't do enough research to find out that even though marshmallows are dragon's favorite food, they are not to be given when they are sick. Will they be able to help the little dragon with his sickness???
