This is an oldie, but a goodie. Originally written by Ogden Nash in 1936, this 1995 edition when illustrations by Munsinger is a delightful read. The rhyming pattern is different but with some practice could be smooth as butter. Plus, I think the story of how brave everyone is but the big giant dragon is a nice change of pace. I loved this story. It ages well. It could get a new illustrator and be an entirely new read for a new generation, and it should be. Maybe in 10 years when it enters the public domain.
