This is really cute, a Knight and a Dragon share the same hobby of cooking. They share recipes and start making desserts together. There is a fighting competition that every knight and dragon must participate in and these fast friends find a loop hole and make a plan! ~Ashley

lovely!
I was pleasantly surprised by the rhyming scheme, and the diction was nothing too advanced for a six-year-old. It’s mostly iambic pentameter, but Dee Leone added some breaks, which is probably good so that it didn’t become too hypnotic.

My kindergartner was probably a little disappointed there wasn’t any fighting, but that’s why I like it! haha!

Nice illustrations by George Ermos, too.

i’m also always happy for a cute map, so that’s a +1

This was a pretty cute story - I especially liked the illustration. The one issue I had was the ending felt very abrupt. With the cadence of the rhyme I wanted about one more page/stanza of resolution.

Friends do some quick rules-lawyering to keep from being forced to kill each other.

Yes, that is actually what happens in this PICTURE BOOK about baking.

I loved this!!! It was so adorable and had one of my favorite styles of illustrations.
A young knight and dragon bond over their love of baking and come up with a creative solution to avoid fighting each other. Kids who love dragons, medieval times, and baking would likely enjoy this story. It would make for a great story-time book, and I'm going to ask my boss to order us a copy for the children's floor.

This adorable story about a knight and a dragon who are expected to fight each other blasts stereotypes left and right.

So adorable. A dragon and knight make friends through cookies and cakes. When a law is passed that they must fight instead, these two come up with a great plan to obey the law. A fun book with great rhymes.
