The Knight Who Said "No!"

Praise

Children will relate to Ned’s many emotions, and his "yes" and "no" responses in this rhyming story are predictable, allowing them to chime in during read-alouds. Wonderfully detailed village scenes with strong primary colors and geometric designs inspire shape recognition. Dominating her scenes, the fiery-red dragon’s posture and often goofy facial expressions soften as she creates a new life with her friend…This emotionally astute tale will strike chords of recognition.
—Kirkus Reviews

It’s a vibrant little world, bright with creative coloring. After storytime, kids will race to the crayon bin to draw their own castles modeled after Hindley’s cleverly geometric designs. A visual treat.
