Kenny and the Dragon

I read Kenny and the Dragon by Tony DiTerlizzi for consideration for a one book one school program at my son's elementary school for next year. The book description says, "Kenny is a little rabbit with a very big problem. His two best friends are heading into a battle of legendary proportions—with each other! In one corner there’s Grahame, a well-read and cultured dragon with sophisticated tastes. In the other there’s George, a retired knight and dragon slayer who would be content to spend the rest of his days in his bookshop. Neither really wants to fight, but the village townsfolk are set on removing Grahame from their midst and calling George out of retirement. Can Kenny avert disaster?"

I loved this book! I thought it was such a fun read and is the perfect type of book for what we are looking for (which was so refreshing that I think it made me love the book even more). The book was super engaging with fun, likable characters, an exciting storyline, and great vocabulary. There are also fun pictures throughout. This would be a fun family read aloud for sure, so if we don't use it for our school program, I'd love to read it with my kids anyway.
