(4) 1-3 Knights' Tales series. Illustrated by Aaron Renier. This fourth installment focuses on the adventures of Sir Balin, chronicling his deeds during the time of King Arthur's Round Table. Younger readers who don't mind the forced humor will appreciate the whimsical text and frequent black-and-white illustrations. Under the whimsy, this is a discussion on fate versus free will.

(4) 1-3 Knights' Tales series. Illustrated by Aaron Renier. This third series entry focuses on the adventures of Sir Gawain, King Arthur's full-of-himself nephew and a Knight of the Round Table. There are lots of jokes (some a stretch) in the accessible text and cartoony black-and-white brush and ink illustrations. There are some things to be learned, too, about courtesy, friendship, and loyalty.

(4) 1-3 Knights' Tales series. Illustrated by Aaron Renier. Sir Givret uses brains rather than brawn to save Guinevere and to aid him on his first quest, helping a fellow Knight of the Round Table who's in danger. While laughing at his adventures (though some laughs are forced), readers will admire Givret's resourcefulness. Comical brush and ink illustrations add to the levity.

(4) 1-3 Knights' Tales series. Illustrated by Aaron Renier. This book chronicles an oafish Sir Lancelot's deeds and adventures as a Knight of the Round Table. Though some of the humor is forced, readers will laugh at the way Lancelot stumbles and bumbles his way out of danger; they may also learn a little something about Arthurian legend. Cartoon brush and ink illustrations add to the fun.
