The Good Knight (Good Night, Good Knight) hears a sneeze in the forest. "Methinks my dragon friends are not well." Two visits to the local wizard fail to cure the trio, so the knight goes to the source of good advice and better medicine: his mother and her chicken soup. Thomas borrows from the oral tradition and the illustrations highlight important events and character traits. This book rewards beginning readers with what reading is all about: a fine story, well told.
