The Forgetful Knight

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Fred Blunt. The most unreliable of narrators describes a knight's adventure by horse ("Then again... / he had no horse. / Did I say 'rode'? / He strode, of course"). At book's end, readers learn that the narrator, who fires off snappy rhymes throughout, is none other than the knight himself. The art offers a visual gag for every slapstick narrative bumble.
