Dough Knights and Dragons by Dee Leone Illustrated by George Ermos
Due to their collective love for cooking and baking, an unlikely friendship blossoms between a knight and a dragon. Unfortunately for the pair, friendship is forbidden between knights and dragons. In fact, when a knight comes of an age by law, he is expected to engage in duel to the death with a dragon. As that day approaches, the now inseparable pair have an ingenuous idea. Together they collaborate on a plan to stay true to the law without harming each other.
Told in rhyme, Dough Knights and Dragons is pure delight to read aloud to students.

George Ermo’s illustrations convey the warm and tender relationship between the knight and the dragon. Dough Knights and Dragons is a delicious and enchanting story that teaches that friendship comes in all shapes and sizes.
