King Jack and the Dragon
Peter Bently, illustrated by Helen Oxenbury
ISBN: 9780803736986
Soft-edged drawings in watercolors show the power of friendship and imaginative play.
A trio of very young friends has medieval adventures in their great fort (made of sheets and a cardboard box). Jack is king, Zack was a knight, and little Caspar was a page-boy. They had great adventures fighting dragons and monsters and feasting in their fort. Until the sun began to set, and Sir Zack was dragged off by a giant, and Caspar got snagged by another giant, and King Jack was left all alone in his fort at night. Of course, all of the giants are parents, and the brave trio does have to go to bed after all.
Too adorable for words, and ABOUT TIME there was another good knights and kingdoms book to match up with Mercer Mayer's The Bravest Knight.
