koby 's review for:
Prince & Knight
by Daniel Haack
OK, what is the deal with the dead dragon in this book??? It's a lot for a kid's story. I don't love the violence of the dragon aspect in general, but I definitely don't love that the dragon dies. I think there was an opportunity here to have a more compassionate resolution to the dragon conflict.
The violence of this story really throws me off and made it less enjoyable. I think the art is cute. I like parts of the story (like the prince's parents are accepting). But if a book wants to disrupt the restrictive parts of a fairy tale, there is other work to be done as well.
I kept this book for my children's library because my oldest liked it right away and I guess if we're going to get into fairy tales, it's good to start with one that at least shows a prince and a knight falling in love.
