title: The Storybook Knight
author:  Helen Docherty 
description: PreS-Gr 2A small knight learns to fight his foes with a good story rather than a sword. Leo is a small knight who is fond of adventuresat least the ones found in books. His parents hope that the challenge of fighting a dragon with his new shield and sword will turn him into a brave, dragon-fighting knight. Leo sets off on his quest with a supply of good books, but along the way, he meets foes looking for fights. Thankfully, Leo is quick with a story to calm the angry beastseven a dangerous dragon likes a good tale. There are delightful spreads done in acrylic ink and watercolor that pair beautifully with the rhyming stanzas. The characters' voices are distinct and beg to be read aloud. VERDICT A recommended purchase for all collections and perfect for storytime, bedtime, or anytime.Karen Ginman, BookOps: The New York Public Library and Brooklyn Public Library

  This book is dedicated with all my love
  
  to my husband, Chuck,
  
  who has always believed in me,
  
  always been my white knight,
  
  and always wanted a book of his own.
  
  He deserves one.
