A classic magical story line that introduces dragons, sward fights, fire, princesses, and most importantly magical food. This book, is one that will allow the child imagination to run wild, with opening a book with little to no words. ( )

This book teaches children that even if you don't like someone or are meant to not like someone, you can become friends in the end. There is nothing that can stop you from overcoming your differences. ( )

This book was really funny. They way is presents both the Dragon and the Knight as never having battled one of the other is amusing. They both take it upon themselves to learn more about the other and practice how they will go about battling each other. I think this could be helpful in teaching kids, that just because you do not know much information about a specific subject. Does not mean you cannot learn about it. Even when they do battle each other, it does not go according to plan, and I think that is another good point for students to be able to see and show that they do not need to do anything perfect, but that they do need to put in the effort to try new things.

This book was hilarious with an unexpected twist at the end involving a librarian (yeah!). I think it would be perfect read aloud to first and second graders. ( )

What happens when a sheepish knight and a not-so-fierce dragon fight for the very first time? Well, it's no ordinary battle.
