The Storybook Knight

Stories are powerful! This is a calming story but with a lot of excitement and surprises!

Leo is a sweet little mouse who is a knight. He loves to read books all day, but his parents say he is a knight who should be tough and who loves to battle. But, Leo is not that kind - he is a more gentle kind of knight who loves his stories and imaginations.

Title: The Storybook Knight

Author: Helen Docherty

Illustrator: Thomas Docherty

Publisher: Sourcebooks Jabberwocky

One day, there comes an ad for a "Knight Wanted!" and the task assigned to the knight would be to tame an unruly dragon! Leo's parents insisted that he take up this role, however, he had no interest in it at all. Reluctantly, Leo packs sandwiches (and, of course, a lot of books) and sets out on his horse.

Even before the fire-breathing dragon, Leo encounters interesting storybook creatures, a griffin and a troll. In both cases, he protects himself and avoids a battle by reading a story with the corresponding creature in the lead role. Leo even gives them the book as a gift! After all, a good story eliminates the need for combat!
