Silly. And written with overly flowering language. And the dragon just doesn't look nearly as much like a dragon as it ought. But a quite different take on the Knight and the Dragon. The later sections of the book read a little bit more simply and with somewhat faster pacing, drawing you into the tale. A clever story but could have been done just a bit better with both the writing and the art. 3.5 of 5.

I do love finding good books and this was a good find, by the same author who wrote The Wind in the Willows, which when I tried to read it as a kid found it to be a real snoozer, but I'm going to go back and read it again and expect to appreciate it this time around.
Don't write off, or be fooled into *not* reading, books that appear to be children's stories.

This is a classic for good reason, it is a clever and charming tale that is a joy to read to a child. It is hard to write about why I love this book without spoilers, so if you haven't read it, just do, it's a quick read. And try and grab a copy illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard as his drawings add a great deal to the charm of the story.

A very sweet, comforting read. Perfect introduction for children to become comfortable with the writing style of classics.

The kiddos liked this one enough to ask to listen to it twice today and finished it instead of waiting for tomorrow. That's a pretty strong endorsement, I'd say.

This was a cute and short read with an interesting take on the Story of St. George and the Dragon. It was a fun story about a dragon that doesn't want to do dragonish things and a boy that likes reading books. The dragon is a poet and storyteller.
