Little boys who enjoy anything having to do with knights and dragons will LOVE this book!! Presented in a light-hearted way, for young children, readers may actually learn a few new vocabulary words, such as "joust", "visor", "catapult", and "moat". Written in a witty rhyming scheme, and illustrated with fun cartoons. In the end, your "young lads" will discover that even brave knights take their naps! SMILE!

Jack And The Beanstalk - Retold By John Cech
This is the best rendition of Jack's story that I have ever read! Jack does steal the giant's most prized possessions, in order to provide for he and his mother, but neither the golden eggs nor the gold coins lasts forever. In this unique version of the tale, the giant's wife decides to leave her husband, following Jack down the beanstalk and later becoming one of his mother's dearest friends. Very soft and delightful illustrations accompany the narrative.

Dragon Scales And Willow Leaves - By Terryl Givens
A cute story that shows how brothers and sisters view things differently. When twins Jonathan and Rachel take a walk through the woods, Jonathan imagines medieval battle scenes, while Rachel sees the beauty of nature all around her. The illustrations and the story line are charming.

Billy and Blaze - By C.W. Anderson
The ink sketches in this book portray a little boy living in the 1920's or 1930's. Billy's best friend is his pony Blaze, and he's such a very good pony, that they enter in a horse show. The storyline is very simple, but this is the kind of sweet, wholesome book it is hard to come by, these days.
