Product Description
What do you do when your new best buddy has been designated a scourge by the community and marked for imminent extermination? Just ask Kenny Rabbit. When the simple folks in the sleepy little village of Roundbrook catch wind that there's a dragon running loose in the countryside, they get the wrong idea and the stage is set for a fight to the death. So it's up to Kenny to give his neighbors front-row seats to one of the best-known battles in history -- the legendary showdown between St. George and the dragon -- without losing a friend in the fray.

Fun read November 10, 2008
I never really take the time to write reviews, but for this book I really feel compelled to. I am an adult who likes to check out kids books(for me and my kid and nieces and nephews) and this is one of my favorites. Its just a really fun story, it's light and it just makes you smile at the end. I definitely recommend it.

Grand Adventure October 22, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful

This book is both written and illustrated by Tony DiTerlizzi. This is a fantastic story of a young bibliophile named Kenny. Kenny has always felt a little on the outside - he loves books, and his pursuit of knowledge is almost relentless. At school when he has to do presentations the other students become bored and have even fallen asleep. Then his life changes drastically for his father finds a dragon in his pastures on their farm property. Kenny goes to investigate.

Kenny's only close friend in town is a retiree named George who owns a bookshop in town. It was from George's shop that he has borrowed a book called The King's Royal Bestiary. This book had a section on dragons so Kenny took it with him when he went to investigate the dragon his father found. The dragon was not at all what he expected. First the dragon's name is Grahame, and Grahame loves books, poetry music and dessert.

Kenny wants George and Grahame to meet but something gets in the way. The town finds out about the dragon, and The King has commissioned his champion to kill the beast. Kenny must find a way to save his friend.

This is a great adventure. Kenny is a smart young boy who loves books. He also loves adventure and he faces a battle. DiTerlizzi has created a wonderful story. It would be nice to meet Kenny again in further adventures.

A hilarious story for ages 8-12 October 12, 2008
Tony DiTerlizzi's KENNY & THE DRAGON tells of one Kenny Rabbit, who finds himself involved in a battle against a dragon in the legendary showdown between St. George and the dragon. And Kenny may be on the wrong side in this hilarious story for ages 8-12.

Has that Spiderwick sparkle.... October 5, 2008
With the roaring success of his The Spiderwick Chronicles (Boxed Set): The Field Guide; The Seeing Stone; Lucinda's Secret; The Ironwood Tree; The Wrath of Mulgrathseries, DiTerlizzi's fans will flock to this book at first by name recognition alone. Upon reading the first few pages they will come to love it for it's own characters and settings. Parents who failed to purchase the Spiderwick books because of price vs. length will probably falter over this slim tome as well, but it is a mistake to limit a child's reading because a hardback isn't 400+ pages.
