review 1: Good Knight's three little dragon friends are very cold. As he is a good knight, he takes them to the castle so they'll be warm. However, he cautions them to mind their manners because there's a ball happening at the castle. They agree. The only problem is that the little dragons don't know what manners are. They get into quite a few scrapes before Good Knight realizes the problem. Once educated, the little dragons are mannered and polite.What I thought: Good Knight and his little dragon friends are such great characters. I look forward to reading about them for many years to come. I like how Thomas uses a repetitive style that is similar to Dr. Seuss. It gives the book a certain rhythm. Repetition also makes this book perfect for children to read for themselves. The illus... moretrations are bright, colorful, and immensely appealing. The latest installment in the series is as good as the others previous. Brava, Ms. Thomas!
review 2: While this book was a lot of fun I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't directed to beginning readers like the first book was. This was longer and had much more difficult words. A good reader could tackle it but not an emerging one (without a lot of help).That being said my kids thought this was really funny. The dragons are very cute and the illustrations are excellent. There's even a lesson about manners here which I always appreciate.I would have rated this higher if it had been easier for kids to read. As a picture book though it's very well done. less
