A Cold Winter's Good Knight

Three little dragons were sitting in a cave in the forest and they were very, very cold and shivering up a storm. The only thing smiling was the little snowman just outside the cave. Their teeth were "chattering so loudly" that it could be heard "all the way to the king's castle." The Good Knight came over and invited them to come to the castle. His only request was that they "mind their manners." That didn't seem like a hard thing to do, There was a big fancy party going on and they were nice and toasty by the fire. A bit more fire would be just the ticket and so they blew into the fireplace and you can guess what happened. Ahhhh, cough, cough! They ran to douse the fire with a punch bowl and got the Good Knight instead. Things just seemed to go from bad to worse as the evening wore on. They tried to behave, but that chandelier was mighty inviting. "COWABUNGA! YIPEE! YAHOO!" Now they were really in trouble and how were they going to get out of it? This totally zany story was a lot of fun and it did have a lesson to impart to mischievous boys and girls. The story line flowed very smoothly and the art work meshed very well with the tone. I especially loved the wide-eyed little dragons. If you have an imp or two or three in your home or classroom you might want to consider a copy of this amusing little tale!

We love this book! It's fun to read and look at with great illustrations. It teaches the importance of manners, how easy it is to use them and how far you get by being polite. My kids are almost 3 and get a kick out of "those crazy dragons".

Charming drawings with lots of details - my 3-year old daughter reads it with us at least three times a day.
