Editorial Reviews

K-Gr 2-In this addition to the series, the knight's dragons try to make a birthday present for a friend and enlist the young knight's help. However, attempts to make a cake and a card and put on a magic show result in complete messes. At midnight, the dragons cry "drippy droppy dragon tears" and explain that the gifts were meant for him. The Good Knight reassures them and a merry birthday celebration ensues. Plecas's charming ink-and-watercolor illustrations enhance the setting and mood of this sweet, well-told story. The use of repetition and word patterns makes this a fine purchase for beginning readers.-Bobbee Pennington, Bryan Public Library, TX Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.
