Overview

What would you do if you discovered a dragon living in a cave on a hill above your home? Make friends, read poetry together? It turns out that not all dragons are intent on pillaging the countryside. Some might actually enjoy peace, quiet, and the occasional banquet. The Boy of this story knows how to handle dragons, and life is good¿ until a knight in shining armor arrives in town to exterminate his friend! It doesn't matter that it's a “good” dragon - rules are rules, you know! (Summary by Mark)


Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

The richly expressive prose of Kenneth Grahame continues to delight. The illustrations...bring to life the medieval-village scenes, full of warm colors and busy activities.” —Language Arts

“The telling is delightfully tongue-in-cheek....Hague's paintings...create literal settings with appropriate details to hold our visual interest....His star attraction is an imaginative animal and he makes this reluctant dragon live.” —School Library Journal, starred review
