Kenny is a book loving Rabbit whose best friend is a legendary dragon names Grahame. A lot has changed since "Kenny and the Dragon" - Kenny now has a bunch of sisters, Charlotte goes to a different school, even George, the owner of the book store is off on assignments from the king. At least Kenny and Grahame are still best friends. But, when Dante, a legendary manticore comes to the village, and has a lot of catching up to do with his old friend Grahame, Kenny feels jealous. But, there's an adventure to undertake, a Grimoire to find, a witch to defeat and a friend to rescue.
An evident nod to Kenneth Grahame's "Wind in the Willows," this illustrated story is charming and funny. DiTerlizzi's illustrations are plentiful and entertaining. Although "Kenny and the Book of Beasts" can stand alone, the story is so much better if you have read book 1.
