About This Book
An inexperienced knight and an equally inexperienced dragon both prepare to fight each other by studying books on the subject. After their hilariously clumsy battle, a clever librarian suggests a much better use for their talents - one that involves barbecue instead of combat.
Why We Love This
Tomie dePaola's gentle humor shines here, and kids love the unexpected ending where fighting gives way to something much more delicious.
