An epic tale that features knights and dragons in a fantasy world. Teaches children that there is always a better solution than fighting. Suitable for children aged 5+.
Dee Leone is a teacher. Her interests include photography, travelling and scrapbooking. George Ermos studied illustration at the University of Lincoln. He lives in the UK.
“In this tale that espouses making dough not war, a young knight
happens upon a dragon’s cave full of unusual cooking ingredients,
and the two quickly bond over their love of cooking, creating many
mouthwatering confections together. However, in this magical
kingdom where knights and dragons are required to battle and
friendships between the two are specifically forbidden, this duo is
slated to face off in an upcoming event. The friends continue to
bake but are so distracted by their anxiety that their pastries are
misshapen, and one actually resembles a dragon. They devise a plan
to circumvent the law by spearing and devouring pastries shaped
like knights and dragons, rather than the actual live beings. The
lighthearted tone set by the clever title is reflected in the
brief, buoyant, rhyming text, and further heightened by the cartoon
style of the vividly colored digital illustrations. While there are
many stories with this theme, the pairing of knights and dragons
with delicious food gives this one extra appeal.” —Booklist
