Helen DochertyThe Knight Who Wouldn't Fight: 1

I ordered this for my reception class based purely on the fact it was about a Dragon and a knight, to fit in with our castles topic. I was very pleasantly surprised to discover a beautifully written story, told in humorous rhymes, with equally stunning illustrations.The storyline focuses on Leo, a young knight who loves reading and really isn't keen on the idea of fighting a dragon, discovering that he can use the power of books to tame even the most fearsome of creatures.My class love it just as much as I do and any story that focuses on a love of books and shows reading in a positive light is a winner in my eyes.

Amazing book with an amazing story

Just what I need for back to school

Nice story and illustrations, class loved it

I bought this story for my 3 year old grandson, a knight in training. Terrific story as Leo, the knight, reads to the dragon instead of fighting him. He even gets the dragon to clean up his own mess.Great message!

A really great book. It has a wonderful child-knight character who loves to read and uses books rather than a sword to save the day. It is a wonderful story told in perfect rhyme and with lots of humour. I also adore the illustrations - the green and orange contrasting colours are beautiful (in fact at the moment it is my favourite book and I always choose it to read to my children, aged 4 and 6). The children like it too, so it is a winner all round.Definitely buy this book, your life will be happier for it!

Bought for my grandson (age 4) during lockdown, he was delighted with it & enjoys reading it with mum & dad!

Thank you so much for this wonderful book! My kids (ages 4, 3 & 1) have requested it over and over again every night since we got it.Beautiful morals, rhythm, rhyme, humour, illustrations, action and adventure. It's got it all.
