Tashi: the Book of Magical Mysteries

A 1001 CBYMRBYGU. Jack announces to his parents that he has a new friend named Tashi. His parents probe the boy to find out about the friend, but, to the boy's dismay, the dad always asks the wrong questions. Jack tells incredible tales about Tashi. A fun story written with intermittent pictures to lead an early chapter book reader through the story. I liked this book.

Jack and Tashi sat at the kitchen table, drinking their juice.
“Would you like to play in the garden now?” asked Mum.
“Oh, yes!” said Tashi. “I like gardens.”
“We could look for a dragon to kill,” Jack said hopefully to Tashi.
“Are there any dragons left in the garden?” asked Dad.
“You always say the wrong thing!” said Jack.
