Take Care, Good Knight, written by Shelley Moore Thomas and
illustrated by Paul Meisel, is an entertaining book that will make a connection
with beginning readers. A wizard
asks three dragons (who don’t know how to read) to take care of his cats. They readily agree. However, because they can’t read, they
look at the picture of water beside the words that tell them to give the cats
fresh water and mistake it for a lake.
They assume that means to take the cats swimming! You can imagine the hilarious pictures
of the cats in water.
More funny scenes follow as the dragons can’t read the
instructions. Finally, their
friend, the Good Knight, reads the note to the dragons after they admit they
can’t read. A happy ending is
revealed when the dragons receive a book to learn how to read. This is a book that makes us laugh out
loud as we read about the dragons’ adventures with the cats. We hope you find some laughs too!
*What’s the funniest scene in the book?
*Why do you think the dragons didn’t tell the Good Knight
sooner that they couldn’t read?
*Have you ever had to ask help with something you didn’t
know how to do?
