Where Is the Dragon? by Leo Timmers

A picture book from award-winning Leo Timmers about three silly knights and a clever dragon The king can't sleep until the dragon is found. Luckily, the three knights know everything about dragons and are armed to the teeth! Now they just have to find him. They set out into the night with a candle in hand. Soon they find something that looks very much like a dragon ... Attack! The funny rhyming text is by James Brown, an award-winning poet and translator of Gus's Garage.

Starred 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.

-- Kirkus Reviews

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.
