serendipity_viv's review
Reviewed by author, Liss Norton, for www.serendipityreviews.co.uk.
Albie's trip to the library with Mum isn't quite what he was expecting in this picture book. Instead of sitting quietly and drawing a dragon for his homework, he finds himself caught up in a fantasy adventure with a young knight.
There's danger along the way as Albie and Sir Cuthbert Clinkety-Clank set off on horseback to find a dragon. They meet a grizzly bear and a hungry troll, and then there's that monster in the cave … Fortunately nothing is quite what it seems and everything turns out happily in the end – although it looks as though there might be a problem with the car wash on the way home! But perhaps that's another story…
This book is bursting with detailed and highly colourful illustrations. There are a couple of picture clues to spot which might help you guess what's coming next and the troll's slightly bonkers language is brilliant. A fun book for young children.
