Mischief! Mishaps! Dragons! Here's the story of an intrepid knight, only our narrator can't quite remember the details. Did that knight carry a sandwich, or a sword? Was he supposed to fight a cat, or a dragon? A hilarious and unpredictable adventure ensues, building through laugh-out-loud rhymes until, at last, the narrator remembers his own role at the center of all the marvelous madness.

A very, very silly book, with silly child-like drawings (why must kid books have art that looks like it was drawn by said kids??). Basically, you have the knight, that is telling the tale of what he set out to do, but he can't quite remember how he did it, or even what it was he was doing. He couldn't even keep straight the species of his best friend. I didn't much care for the book overall, it was a little random, a little too silly and all over the place but I'm guessing little kids will find the knight's confusion hilarious.
Although, for what it's worth, it does a some nailbitters in there, there's a moment where it seems like neither the dragon nor the knight will survive their battle! That was a little scary for a little kids book I would think (of course, remember the knight can't keep his story straight and at the end you'll see why he can't possibly die...)
