The Dragon and the Nibblesome Knight

Author: Elli WoollardIllustrator: Benji Davies

Little Dragon Dram must leave the family nest to find his own food and a dragon’s favourite snack is a nibblesome knight. But a crash landing leaves Dram a little worse for wear, and the young lad that cares for him mistakens him for a duck! The truth is revealed at their next encounter, but young James is actually a knight and now he’s expected to fight his new friend.

More fairytale fun from the duo that brought us The Giant of Jum. The sing-song rhyme will delight Donaldson fans and Benji Davies’ beautiful artwork is a joy to pore over. Children will love this fun friendship story that takes place in the fairytale realm and it may well be a book that demands repeat readings. Little details in the illustrations and a handsome map mean there is more to be discovered each time.
