Edward is in full armor and off to his first day of knight school. Hiding in the back he makes it through class, but is terrified of the dragons and ogres he’ll encounter during recess.

A sweet twist comes to end the book on a helpful, hopeful note – a respectable read to help alleviate first-day jitters. I just wish the illustrations were more appealing.
