BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Sir Cole needs to hire an assistant knight. He sends out a letter to his whole kingdom. Long lines of people line up to be interviewed. When Sir Cole sees the long line of applicants, he feels overwhelmed, so he goes for a walk instead. At the beach he finds signs saying things like: "No dragons allowed." That made him think of the Underwear Dragon. sir Cole realized the Dragon tried to destroy the kingdom, because he did not know how to read. Sir Cole decides to teach him. But, how do you teach a fire-breathing dragon to read if he always breathes fire and lights all the books and papers on fire? Will he succeed?
The story is told in rhyme, with fun and creative rhymes. The illustrations are delightful. The rhymes made me giggle and I loved the cute story of Sir Cole teaching the Underwear Dragon to read. The book is just full of surprises! Young children would love this book and want to have it read to them over and over.
