A bumbling knight meets a clumsy dragon in a duel with an ending you'll never forget!What happens when a sheepish knight and a not-so-fierce dragon fight for the very first time? Well, it's no ordinary battle since the knight has to go to the castle library to learn about dragon-fighting and the dragon must dig through his ancestor's things to find out how to fight a knight! When they decide they're finally ready, their energetic faceoff is sure to elicit giggles, uh-ohs, and very satisfied cries of "Perfect!" at the heartening conclusion."Spontaneity of line and feeling are backed by zesty colors and a jovial, tongue-in-cheek tone to which children can relate—a top springtime choice." —Booklist "There's a swirl of good-humored life to the book." —The New York Times Book Review
Having enjoyed Strega Nona, I wanted to check out other books by Tomie DePaola. This is a winner. There are some pages without words that are inviting for kids to narrate on their own. The overall theme is about the similarities and differences between people, assumptions we make, and how to get along. There is a fun twist at the end, and a librarian is the hero of the story. Charming illustrations, too.
