Get Well, Good Knight by Shelley Moore Thomas

4.0

Get Well, Good Knight tells the story of three little dragons who get sick. When their friend, Good Knight, finds out, he runs to a wizard to find a cure, only things don't turn out that well. Get Well, Good Knight is a friendly story about dragons and knights for kids that love fantasy, but may not be ready for some of the more advanced fantasy books. The book makes use of repetition and the rule of three (it takes the Knight three times to find a cure) to create a familiar mindset for young readers. The illustrations are done in a sketchy manner that doesn't look sloppy. The illustrator, Jennifer Plecas, has hidden talent for characterization through clutter. When we meet the little dragons, we notice that there are piles of toys and objects around each of their beds, each pile giving us a different idea about what kind of character each dragon is. The same occurs when we first meet the wizard, who is surrounded with books and cats.
