Baby dragon Dram crash-lands while trying to find his first "nibblesome knight." Young "lad" James (disrobed of armor) thinks he's rescuing an injured duck. "'Oh duckie!' cried James as Dram struggled to roar. / 'What a strange sort of quack. Why, your throat must be sore!'" In this tale of mistaken identity leading to friendship, Davies's charmingly detailed pictures let readers in on the truth before the bouncy rhymes do.
