The Story Book Knight

(3) PS Illustrated by Thomas Docherty. Mouse Leo, a "gentle knight," is a bookworm. His parents, wanting him to be more traditionally knightly, encourage him to go off and tame a dragon. He sets out with the most unknightly of weapons: books. The rhymes canter along, and the plucky acrylic-ink and watercolor art subverts expectations of classic knight tales: no character herein could hurt a fly.
