Murray and Bun!: Murray the Knight by Adam Stower - ADVISABLE

Murray and Bun!: Murray the Knight
by Adam Stower
, 188 pages. CHAPTER BOOK Random House, 2024. $17 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3), EL - ADVISABLE 
APPEALS TO: MANY 

Murray the cat is back, trying to enjoy a good nap, when a huge magical potato forces him and Bun (his bun transformed by magic into a bunny) through an enchanted cap flap. This time, Murray and Bun find themselves in a duel with Sir Nasty for the hand of Princess Rubytoes. While Sir Nasty is trying to sabotage the duel, Murray wants to help the princess find her true love. And possibly snacks for himself and Bun. 

Because the forward is the same, this series does not have to be read in any order. Murray and Bun are drawn well enough that their story is a lot of fun, even though it is so far fetched. The characters will relate to young readers, and the humor carries it along. This will be a fast romp through knighthood for young readers.
