Product Description
Product Description
Kenneth is a little rabbit with a very big problem. His two best friends are heading for a battle of legendary proportions - with each other! In one corner there's Grahame, a well-read and cultured dragon, with sophisticated tastes and no stomach for battle. In the other, there's George, a retired knight and dragon slayer who would be content to spend the rest of his days in his bookshop with a pipe and a good book. But when the townsfolk catch wind there's a dragon running loose in the countryside, and call George out of retirement, the stage is set. And it's up to Kenny to avert disaster. A fun-filled, thoroughly theatrical spin on a classic tale of subterfuge and showmanship.

Bought the book yesterday and finished it in one go: it's lovely, funny and moving. I had read The Reluctant Dragon about a month ago and was initially stunned as to why Tony DiTerlizzi decided to write and publish his version of Grahame's excellent original. That being said, Tony DiTerlizzi names the 2 main characters Kenneth and Grahame plus toward the end they briefly mention The Reluctant Dragon so it looks like this new version is more of a thank you to Kenneth Grahame than DiTerlizzi running short of ideas for a new book. I found this new one very enjoyable in its own right and the illustrations are wonderful. Nevertheless I'm only giving it three stars on the basis that this new version is too similar to the original.
Format:Paperback
RUBBISH BOOK! I got it as a birthday gift and it was a waste of money!
I started reading it but half way through i had much better books like the dragon
dairy by Dugald A.steer is better.
On the bright side it can make you go to sleep when you cant sleep at night<(that's why i gave it 2 more stars)

This an enchanting tale about a little rabbit called Kenny and a dragon called Graeme. Kids will love this magical story and it will appeal to both boys and girls.
Kenny loves books. Reading is his favourite thing to do. He has a thirst for knowledge and a curious mind.
Graeme also loves books as well as poetry, music and dessert.
This is a tale of friendship and one that shows that although people are different it doesn't mean we can't all get along and put our differences to one side. It is a story that shows that friendships can change the outcomes of everything. Conflict doesn't have to be the answer to everything.
I highly recommend this book. It is such a beautiful book and magical from beginning to end.
It is a perfect book for young readers and stubborn ones... or even older readers who are kids at heart!

My son , aged 9, loved the Spiderwick chronicles so I bought this title off the back of that success and he read it in one sitting, he loved the creativity and illustrations.
