Kenny And The Dragon by Tony DiTerlizzi

Kenny and the dragon is a fascinating book about a young rabbit called Kenneth (Kenny for short). One day his father came running in, suddenly shouting that they have to move away. Ma settled him down and calmly asked what the problem was. Now Kenny is a bright little lad who always has his head stuck in a good book. That week he was reading a book called "The King's Royal Bestiary" that he found wonderfully amazing. He thought everything in the book was completely true. 

Anyway, his father started to describe a beastly devil that he apparently saw on their farm hill called Shepherds Hill. As he carried on, Kenny interrupted and said "It can't possibly be a real life dragon." His father replied "Yes, Kenny one of those devilish dragons."

Well, after that Kenny went to investigate. He found out that this particular dragon was friendly and harmless to any fellow that passed his way. Kenny found out that his name was Grahame and that they had a lot in common such as reading and poetry. One day the old fishermen that came to Shepherds Hill saw Grahame and straight away told the whole village of Roundbrook. The message was passed onto the King and he wanted it to be exterminated. He called in Kenny's best friend, George, who was a bookshop owner. He once worked for the King, and was asked to come out of retirement and demolish the Dragon. 

George agreed, however he had Kenny facing him and standing in the way. Kenny made him become friends with Grahame. Instead of killing the dragon they made a play and acted it out. It was all Kenny's idea! It had worked and the dragon became very famous throughout the village.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes reading. You will feel like you are in Kenny's shoes and feel like you are living this fairy-tale like I did. I really like this author and his other books too, so I hope he writes some more soon.
