Here Be Dragons (Susannah Lloyd)

 

I think I will love reading this book aloud to my class. It kind of reminds me of Sam and Dave Dig a HoleSam and Dave Dig a Hole. Foolishness which doesn't fool the kids is always a hit. 

Goodreads says:


Children will love this funny, witty and hugely enjoyable book about a very silly knight who goes in search of a dragon!

This book is about a knight on a mission: to find and slay a dragon. The other knights have told him that there's no such thing as dragons, but he doesn't care. For he has a map, and the map says: 

"HERE BE DRAGONS."

He travels right to the spot marked ‘X’, past treasure, suspicious bones and many signs telling him to turn back. He wanders up and down a huge, spiky hill (the dragon's back) shouts into a burrow (the dragon's nose) and eventually walks into a cave (the dragon's mouth)… Will the hapless knight see the dragon before it's too late?! 

Young readers will love spotting the dragon in the background in this laugh-out-loud story from the author of This Book Can Read Your Mind

Beautiful and comedic illustrations with hidden clues hinting at the dragon's whereabouts accompany funny and lively text which young readers and their parents alike will love to read aloud!
