Book SynopsisIn this stellar picture book by New York Times Best Illustrated Book recipient Leo Timmers, three knights go looking in the dark for a dragon. The king won't sleep until they find it. The knights know everything about dragons. With only one candle between them, they go out into the night. Is that a dragon? Attack! Intricately detailed illustrations combine with a joyful rhyming text in this spirited take on mistaken dragon identity.
Trade ReviewStarred review. ...a lilting Suessian singsong, with wonderful, surprising rhymes, and little readers and their grown-ups will have a great time combining their voices and giggling through the proceedings.

Timmers has a marvelous sense of humor in all of his picture books. This book glows with that humor, as each shadow is cleverly revealed to be nothing at all. The dialogue between the knights is delightful...Just the page turns alone in this picture book are a joy, each reveal is great fun to guess at before turning the page...Perfect for any knights and dragon fans you might have, this book is a great read aloud.
