Description

The Little Knight learns that there is always room for more than one hero!

 

In a magical kingdom far away, there is a little knight who’s ready to conquer the day! When he hears someone calling for help, he rushes to the rescue. But soon enough, he discovers that someone else — someone faster — has already saved them. What’s worse is that it happens again! And again! Our favourite hero starts to realize that there’s another knight in the kingdom. Will he be able to get over his pride when a tricky situation arises?

 

This charming installment in the Little Knight series is the perfect opportunity for readers to explore the themes of pride and co-operation. The wonderful scenes depicted by Genevieve Despres are full of humorous details to pull readers into the story.

Editorial Reviews

 

Praise for The Little Knight Who Battle a Dragon: “As well as being suitable for one-on-one sharing, The Little Knight Who Battled a Dragon will be a satisfying experience for new readers who will enjoy exploring the pictures and words in each scene.” — CM: Canadian Review of Materials

“The language is wonderfully descriptive, with phrases . . . that draw the reader into the setting and the adventure in a powerfully effective way.”— Resource Links
