While the title is self explanatory this book is delightful for anyone who loves Jurassic Park and Monty Python. Lots of action, dinosaurs, and quirky one liners.

I won this book on Goodreads. I had my grandson Jordan read it. He is eight and he said to please give it ten stars!!! He really enjoyed it. Thank you so much.

VERY fun book - great for kids graduating from chapter books to slightly longer. Brief bits of magic, mostly daring and cleverness.

(Spoiler)

and absolutely encouraging for girls - letting hem know they too can be Knights and just as impressive as any knight of legend.

This one won’t stay on the shelves! How can you go wrong with the Knights of the Round Table and T-rex? Such a fun book for grades 2 and up.

I’m not interested in knights or dragons, so I’m not really the target audience, but I had to read it for a committee I’m on. Just didn’t grab me.

Do you have a reader who likes knights? How about dinosaurs? Knights of the Round Table? In this tale that teaches a very strong lesson, 4 knights find themselves facing off with dinosaurs. Interspersed are illustrations in Matt Phelan's classic style (reminiscent of his book Snow White) which bring the actions even further to life. I only had one disappointment in the story but that's a spoiler.

Give this to elementary readers, including advanced 1st and 2nd grade readers or parents reading chapter books aloud to that age group.
