Gr 1–3—The knight and her trusty horse Edward from the popular series are back in this short graphic novel. When sleepy ogres are spotted outside the kingdom, the overly enthusiastic knight is ready to take them on, while the king and the others have their own ways of dealing with the problem. Unlike the previous books in the series, this title focuses on the characters and the jokes, rather than trying to teach about comics. This is somewhat beneficial, as those instructional bits were often too brief to be informative and slowed down the storytelling process. There is a quick tutorial on how to draw some of the characters on the inside book covers, so it's good to see that the instructional aspect has not been completely dropped. VERDICT This is a quick and funny read, and the simple word choice makes it ideal for reluctant readers. A fine addition to graphic novel and picture book collections.—Peter Blenski, Greenfield Public Library, WI
