Three little dragons are sick in their cave. Feeling awful, their noses drip and they sneeze and cough. The good knight, while keeping a close, watchful eye on his kingdom, discovers the achy dragons and sets out to make them better. He goes to the old wizard who knows just the thing: a pot of soup. But the dragons refuse to eat it because it's a scaly, snail-y soup. How will the good knight get them better?
Cute book with sweet illustrations. The book is listed as an early reader book, but I don't think it would be that great for a beginning reader--it's amusing and cute, but there are too many non-existent words in it. Good book to read aloud to younger children, in my opinion.

Very repetitive. Would be great for kid's perfecting their reading skills. Shaun questioned my enthusiastic narration but any knight who walks around with the name Good Knight would probably be a bit over-the-top!

Get Well, Good Knight tells the story of three little dragons who get sick. When their friend, Good Knight, finds out, he runs to a wizard to find a cure, only things don't turn out that well. Get Well, Good Knight is a friendly story about dragons and knights for kids that love fantasy, but may not be ready for some of the more advanced fantasy books. The book makes use of repetition and the rule of three (it takes the Knight three times to find a cure) to create a familiar mindset for young readers. The illustrations are done in a sketchy manner that doesn't look sloppy. The illustrator, Jennifer Plecas, has hidden talent for characterization through clutter. When we meet the little dragons, we notice that there are piles of toys and objects around each of their beds, each pile giving us a different idea about what kind of character each dragon is. The same occurs when we first meet the wizard, who is surrounded with books and cats.
