A note for parents
Kenny & the Dragon is a charming, theatrical adventure that subverts the knight-versus-dragon trope through friendship, creativity, and problem-solving. The story celebrates reading, imagination, and peaceful resolution over conflict, making it an excellent choice for early elementary readers. While there are references to battle and a retired knight, the tone is lighthearted and the actual violence is minimal and played for comedy.

Kenneth is a little rabbit with a very big problem. His two best friends are heading for a battle of legendary proportions - with each other!

Kenneth is a little rabbit with a very big problem. His two best friends are heading for a battle of legendary proportions - with each other! In one corner there's Graeme, a well-read and cultured dragon, with sophisticated tastes and no stomach for battle. In the other, there's George, a retired knight and dragon slayer who would be content to spend the rest of his days in his bookshop with a pipe and a good book. But when the townsfolk catch wind there's a dragon running loose in the countryside, and call George out of retirement, the stage is set. And it's up to Kenny to avert disaster. A fun-filled, thoroughly theatrical spin on a classic tale of subterfuge and showmanship.
