Kenny
and the Dragon
by Tony DiTerlizzi
Kids Wings Flying Hig
Kenny Rabbit and his family live in a small farming community. His father keeps sheep high on Shepard's Hill, but Kenny is more interested in reading and dreaming of exploring and going on great adventures. Can you imagine how excited he was when his father burst in one night saying he had seen a dragon on Shepard's Hill? This is the beginning of a great, friendship, one that requires Kenny to use his courage, perseverance, literary finesse, and even a willingness to sacrifice his own safety to save his friend.
Author / Illustrator Tony DiTerlizzi weaves magic with his storytelling style, new animal characters, sparkling vocabulary, and precious pencil sketches that bring the story to life.
This story revives a classic,The Reluctant Dragon by Kenneth Grahame, and will most likely become a classic itself.
