Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
An ALA Notable Title
"Absurdly entertaining. Victorious on all fronts."--Booklist (starred review)
Renowned for their courage, their chivalry, and their ability to fight mythical creatures, the Knights of the Round Table must face their most dangerous opponents yet--DINOSAURS!
This heavily illustrated middle grade novel from award-winning author and artist Matt Phelan is a hilarious, rip-roaring tale of derring-do perfect for reluctant readers and fans of How to Train Your Dragon and The Terrible Two.
Let me tell you a secret about the Knights of the Round Table: they don't have much to do. The realm is at peace and dragons are few and far between. So Merlin decides to send the knights out on a real adventure to a world filled with the most terrible lizards of all: DINOSAURS!
Knights vs. Dinosaurs is a highly illustrated, fast-paced adventure full of uproarious knightly hijinks, surprising secrets, and terrifying dinosaurs. With art on nearly every page, including an epic fight scene depicted in several graphic-novel style spreads, this engaging story is Monty Python for young middle school readers.
A great choice for reluctant readers, aspiring knights, and fans of Peter Brown's The Wild Robot.
"This rollicking story is suspenseful and silly. An excellent choice for all readers."--School Library Journal (starred review)
A slight exaggeration -- Adventure, Merlin style -- Terrible lizards -- More terrible lizards -- Terrible knights -- Tricera-joust -- Sir Hector and the fearsome chickens -- Sir Bors and the mace-tailed menace -- Might makes right -- A calm, cool swim -- Shiny objects -- Court of the rex -- The end of the adventure -- Band of siblings.
With the realm at peace and few dragons about, the Knights of the Round Table are bored, so Merlin sends them to face the most terrible lizards of all--dinosaurs.
