{"product_id":"9781599909998","title":"Digory the Dragon Slayer","description":"Digory is a sweet boy, although he doesn't exactly appreciate the same things as his rambunctious brothers or blacksmith mother. He likes playing the flute, thinking interesting thoughts, and writing silly songs. But all this changes one day when Digory discovers a dragon's tooth in the forest. When he returns to the village to show off his treasure, everyone assumes Digory slayed a dragon! Can Digory still be a normal, non-dragon-slaying boy now that he's been mistaken for a hero? The story of a shy, funny-looking village boy who finds himself rescuing princesses, fighting dragons, and living happily ever after. \u003cbr\u003eReviews \"Beck's rumpled drawings and vignettes add more amiably comic touches.

The amusing black-and-white drawings add to the mock-medieval fun. The lighthearted plot and the strong underlying message about courage and individuality make this a good choice for fantasy fans.\"-\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAbout the Author \u003cbr\u003eAngela McAllister has written a dozen books for Bloomsbury, including \u003ci\u003eBarkus, Sly and the Golden Egg\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Little Blue Rabbit \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eTrust Me, Mom! \u003c\/i\u003eShe has two children and lives in England. \u003cbr\u003eAbout the Illustrator \u003cbr\u003eIan Beck is a prolific illustrator who created the cover for Elton John's \u003ci\u003eGoodbye Yellow Brick Road\u003c\/i\u003e.
