This is the third title featuring Dennis, a green dragon who wears red sneakers and a baseball cap. Appalled when he discovers that his two disreputable brothers have managed to burn down a forest, Dennis sets off to repair the damage by replanting the trees. He goes overboard, however, and soon trees are swamping the town of Dragonville, growing out of sofas, on rooftops, and crowding people out of their yards. Even when people start eating trees and wearing them as hats, the trees still multiply wildly out of control. Eventually, Dennis gets the message that his trees are a nuisance, and he satisfies himself with protecting the forest as a park ranger.

Raeside’s cartoon illustrations are no more than adequate and the point of the story is rather ambiguous. The author uses rhyming sentences, but lame rhymes (such as playgrounds and duckponds, down and around). He even invents an animal (a “jackaroon”), which he uses to rhyme with “raccoon.”
