Synopsis
Children will love this funny, witty and hugely enjoyable book about a very silly knight who goes in search of a dragon
This book is about a knight on a mission: to find and slay a dragon. The other knights have told him that there's no such thing as dragons, but he doesn't care. For he has a map, and the map says:
"HERE BE DRAGONS."
He travels right to the spot marked 'X', past treasure, suspicious bones and many signs telling him to turn back. He wanders up and down a huge, spiky hill (the dragon's back) shouts into a burrow (the dragon's nose) and eventually walks into a cave (the dragon's mouth)... Will the hapless knight see the dragon before it's too late?
Young readers will love spotting the dragon in the background in this laugh-out-loud story from the author of This Book Can Read Your Mind.
Beautiful and comedic illustrations with hidden clues hinting at the dragon's whereabouts accompany funny and lively text which young readers and their parents alike will love to read aloud

This book is about a knight on a very important mission. A mission to find and battle a dragon. The other knights have told him that there's no such thing as dragons, but he says, "Forsooth There is TOO such a thing " You just need to know where to look and this knight has something very special that no one else has. A map that says:
"HERE BE DRAGONS."
So he sets off armed with the map, a sword, and his trusty stead. He travels right to the spot marked 'X', past shiny, sparkly treasure, some suspicious bones and many signs telling him to turn back... RIGHT AWAY. But alas, he is too busy looking at his map to notice. He then wanders up and down a huge, spiky hill (the dragon's back), shouts into a burrow (the dragon's nose), and eventually walks into a very dark cave (the dragon's mouth)... Will the hapless knight see the dragon before it's too late?
In this laugh-out-loud story, young readers will love the many 'he's behind you' moments in this hilarious picture book from the author of This Book Can Read Your Mind, Susannah Lloyd, and the CILIP Kate Greenaway Medal nominee, Paddy Donnelly.
