With my daughter's age, she's not reading very many 'supernatural' books, but how about a dragon book? After all, dragons aren't real.....
Synopsis:
A hilarious journey with the silliest of knights!
This is the tale of three knights and a boy who travels east, in search of a horrid and hideous beast that has been terrorizing towns far and wide. After much journeying with his trusty mandolin, the boy finally encounters the nasty dragon. Can the boy succeed in outwitting this dragon? Young readers will delight in finding out.
Review:
This is an adorable book- one that calls for much singing and prancing about! Miss Grace LOVED the tale of how a simple boy was smarter than 3 knights, and who by his talent, saved the day! Jim is one of our favorite illustrators, so no surprise the book's illustrations are lovely! If you're looking for a great reading book for a 1st/2nd grader, they'll love this book!
