Knighthood for Beginners
Elys Dolan (, Cambridge, UK)
Brilliant new young fiction from comedy genius, Elys Dolan, creator of Steven Seagull, Weasels, and Nuts in Space. High in the mountains are the Dragon Caves, and inside the deepest, darkest dragon cave, lives the most terrible dragon. And his name is Dave. Dave's terrible (as in rubbish) at all dragony things. So when he finds a book called Knighthood for Beginners he decides to learn how to be a knight instead. Dave sets out on a quest with his trusty steed, Albrecht the goat (all the best horses were taken), to be brave, chivalrous, and knightly in all ways. He'll be up against Sir Gnasty, who scoffs at the idea of a very small, strangely green knight and has an absolutely massive sword. Hilarious fiction for young readers and fans of dragons, knights, and quests!

My favourite character is Dave because he’s is brilliant in solving problems. Sometimes he is scared to do something but he pushes himself to do it.I would recommend this book because it’s really interesting and fascinating.

I like it because there is a dragon called Dave who wants to be a knight. And the King really likes him. But Gnasty the knight doesn't like him and this evil knight wants to be king. He puts the King in prison and Dave saves the King. I enjoyed reading this book because it is action packed. The illustrations are good too, I recommend this book for 8 to 10 year olds.

I absolutely loved this book as its characters and their actions make you ache with laughter. I liked Dave the dinosaur the best as his dream to become a knight makes you think about this crazy idea. I would definitely reccomend tis book.

This was a wonderful book about a cute little dragon that didn't know how to be a terrifying dragon so became a knight instead. I think this was a good thing for him because he managed to like being a knight and was really good at it. Especially with his good friend Alretch! My favorite character is Dave - the dragon I would recomend this to a classmate of mine who LOVES dragons.

When I signet up for the reading challenge we choose a ready made bag in the library. I had to choose the selection for younger readers as I have some learning difficulties. Back to the Library today for some more books.

Dave the dragon, terrible at most things and desperately wants to be a knight. He finds a book, Knighthood for beginners. It is an easy to use, step-by-step guide. He gets a trusty steed, a smelly German speaking goat called Albrecht. Together, with the help of the book, they begin their adventure. They meet many interesting characters, for example, Boil Man, Mildred the Bearded Lady, Rubella the Princes, Sir Gnasty and Carbuncle Guy. Its a fun book to read with adventuress that sometimes get Dave and Albrecht into trouble. I would recommend reading this book.
