This book was about a dragon who didn't want to fight. There was a knight who didn't want to fight the dragon but was expected to. The villagers came up the next day day to see the fight. There's was a boy who was generous and kind and didn't judge the dragon. Instead he saved the dragons life.

I think it was a very good book. I think it was about being careful and considerate of others. I liked the dragon best. I recommend this book.

I like it because the boy went off to see the dragon but when he went off it makes me think he's going to see his girlfriend

Good Book. It is a little bit funny, because the knight and dragon had to pretend to fight but made friends.

I liked the book because the dragon didn’t die. I like Saint George the best. I would recommend it.
