Kate's childhood book ( ) [GoodReads] This special new paperback edition of St. George and the Dragon commemorates the 25th Anniversary of the Caldecott Award-winning picture book. Hodges retells an exciting segment from Spenser's The Faerie Queene, in which the Red Cross Knight slays a dreadful dragon that has been terrorizing the countryside for years, bringing peace and joy back to the land. Featuring a fresh new cover design - with artwork that highlights the dragon adventure within - and distinctive embossed gold Caldecott Award sticker, this is the perfect way to introduce the classic tale to a whole new generation of readers. Saint George and The Dragon is about the main character, George who is in charge of his town. Everyone looks up to George, while the dragon in the story is George’s guard. They live in a huge castle that consists of a lot of entrances, so George knew the dragon would be the perfect fit for protection. The story has a huge climax when someone tries to take the dragon away from George, but George knew there was no way that would happen. George and the dragon have a genuine bond and it shows how even if someone is different, you can still have a good connection with them. no reviews | add a review
