Kenny & the Dragon
Kenny & the Dragon | Tony DiTerlizzi
Kenneth is a little rabbit with a very big problem. His two best friends are heading for a battle of legendary proportions - with each other! In one corner there's Graeme, a well-read and cultured dragon, with sophisticated tastes and no stomach for battle. In the other, there's George, a retired knight and dragon slayer who would be content to spend the rest of his days in his bookshop with a pipe and a good book. But when the townsfolk catch wind there's a dragon running loose in the countryside, and call George out of retirement, the stage is set. And it's up to Kenny to avert disaster. A fun-filled, thoroughly theatrical spin on a classic tale of subterfuge and showmanship.

Cute retelling of The Reluctant Dragon with ADORABLE illustrations. Love that the author named the boy Kenneth and the dragon Grahame. ❤️

So. Much. Fun. I downloaded this ebook for the kids to listen to in the car but since it was read by Alan Cumming, really it was for me. He was such a delight to listen to, especially when he voiced the delightful dragon (who likes poetry)!
Also, not book-related, but Cumming-related, he's started a Stitch and Bitch at his newly opened club in New York https://www.lonelyplanet.com/news/2017/10/03/stitch-and-bitch-knitting-classes-n...

Simply marvelous! Alan Cumming is such a great narrator! It almost felt as though I was inside of a Jim Henson movie at some points! Highly, highly recommend!

Bookworm83 I would listen to Alan Cumming narrate an instruction manual. That accent 😍😍 8y

This is my 2nd year teaching 3rd grade and doing this book as a readaloud, and I think it will become one of my regulars. My kiddos LOVED this book. Every time I had to stop reading for the day I got a collective, "NOOOOO! ONE MORE CHAPTER!" There is a bit of violence (talk of killing dragons, swords, etc.) but this story, full of heart and humor, is about not judging people (or dragons) before getting to know them, friendship, and being yourself.

stargazerblue49 Audiobook read by Alan Cumming! Yes, please! 8y
SusanInTiburon My son was crazy about Spiderwick Chronicles in third grade. 😀 8y

BookNerdBritt @Louise It's a chapter book, but there are a few pictures here and there throughout the book as well that my kids loved as well. 8y
