Take Care, Good Knight

Description:

At last, here is a picture book about the Good Knight and his three little dragon friends, the stars of Dutton's best-loved Easy Readers. The old wizard has asked the dragons to take care of his cats for a few days. There's just one problem: they can't read the wizard's instructions! The dragons make their best guesses. They take the cats swimming and camping, with hilarious results. Of course, it's up to the Good Knight to come to the rescue in his funniest outing yet.

Good Night, Good Knight was an ALA Notable Book and a Booklist Top 10 Easy Reader, among other honors.


Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Three lovable little dragons from the Dutton Easy Readers series that began with Good Night, Good Knight (2000) now appear in a large-format picture book. When a friendly old wizard asks them to watch his cats while he is gone, they readily agree. Later, unable to read his instructions, the preliterate dragons are baffled but still game. They pore over his illustrated message, guess at the words, and use clues from the pictures he has drawn, but they wildly mistake his meanings. In one case, they imagine that a pool of water means "take the cats swimming" rather than "give the cats fresh water." Well suited to reading aloud, the story is written with a keen ear for language and a good understanding of what makes young children laugh. Meisel's ink-and-watercolor illustrations, full of lively details, are as entertaining as the story. Sure to please the not-reading-quite-yet set as well as the many fans of the previous books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Book

J. · February 20, 2015

Super great story. This whole series is just great. Very funny and well written and quite readable by early readers. Perfect length as well. My son loves cats and this story really appealed to him. It quickly became a favorite in our home. Get Well, Good Knight also features some pictures of the old wizards cats, so that is his second favorite out of the series. My only complaint about this book is that I prefer small format paper backs, this thing does not fit in my shoulder bag and therefore is an at home only book.I highly recommend these books to kids reading level 2 readers or as read-alouds to younger children.

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny Bed Time Read

D. · January 16, 2012

This book has been read about a million times for betimes, and each time when the Knight says "this does not seem right" it gets giggles. It's about three little dragons who are entrusted with the Wizard's cats while he is gone. And since they can't read the instructions, they make it up as they go along with funny results. The Good Knight comes along and helps the little dragons out. While the story line is funny and entertaining, the pictures really capture the feelings and plot of the book.

4.0 out of 5 stars it is very hilarious and clever

S. · January 10, 2024

It is very funny for example, in the book at bedtime there are three little dragons and there is a very braveknight. And the dragons are friends with the knight. So the dragons call the knight good knight so at bedtime they say good night good knight. And the pages are very hard to rip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious book for preschool aged children!

J.C. · January 30, 2015

This book is hilarious! As a library media specialist and a mother of a three year old boy, I was happy to stumble upon this at the library. We immediately bought our own copy. The page where the dragons put the cats in the cupboard had us both reeling with laughter. If you've got a silly preschooler in your life, this is a must.

5.0 out of 5 stars We all love this one

C. · January 16, 2017

My kids love this book. It's a great story, it's silly and cute and a nice little lesson. My 2 year old loves the pictures and my 5 year old loves to help my read the story. And it's a kids book the I don't entirely mind reading every night. Will be buying more of these books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for dragon and cat lovers! Such a funny and entertaining story.

My grandchildren have and love their cats. It was great being able to tie in this story to our Camp Memaw and Grandaddy a la Knights activities earlier this summer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cute story

K.M. · August 9, 2013

This is just an adorable story and my 5 year old laughs each time we read it because of the innocent, mistaken little dragons and their quest to take care of the wizard's cats. Very cute!

5.0 out of 5 stars Funny for kids and adults

This is one of a very few kids books that make me laugh out loud. It'll work best if your reader knows something about cats but is finny either way.
