Review: Short Story and Full of Humor
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is a cute, little story about a not so knightly knight's adventure to rid a town of it's dangerous dragon. The story is nicely written, mostly in the form of dialogue - humorous dialogue, which had me smiling and chuckling the entire time. It's fast paced - never a boring moment - and sticks to the point. Nope, there's no extra descriptions or meandering scenes which might scare a child reader off. I really enjoyed the knight, and it was fun to follow him as he unwillingly is pulled into this dangerous task. Even the ending is very warm-hearted and leaves one simply with a good feeling.I just wished there had been a little more. Although I'm a huge supporter of shorter reads for the younger audience (no, they don't all like to constantly lug around gigantic, several hundred page novels), I found this a little too short even for a short story. Especially, since the language and humor would probably first really find it's mark with kids 8+.Still, it was an enjoyable read (me wishing there would have been more should prove that) and will put a smile on the faces of readers well past eight-years-old.
