"Anderson's charming, richly hued illustrations animatedly depict
the armor-clad little knight and the cute, expressive dragons'
antics...Droll touches abound in the text, which highlights and
celebrates responsibilities, from morning prep to providing
transport. This delightful offering interweaves fun fantasy and
familiar getting-ready routines in an entertaining, enjoyable
read."-- "Booklist"
"What a treat when Yolen employs her fantasy-writing talents for
the younger set. Anderson's familiar golden-washed cartoon
paintings embellish the humor. Details like a fire extinguisher
labeled 'In case of dragon breath, ' as well as the dragons' flying
goggles, mean this story's popularity will spread like
fire."--SLJ
"With cinematic framing, sculptural shapes, a strong sense of
physical comedy, and a fittingly medieval palette of saturated
jewel tones, Anderson (the Little Quack series) portrays his horned
dragons as hulking slugabeds who morph into surprisingly nimble
wingled beasts."--Publishers Weekly
"Yolen...keeps the energetic beat throughout. Anderson's bright
acrylic illustrations round out the spare text with many added
details and guffaws. Morning-routine stories abound, but for the
very young this one bounces with exuberance."--Kirkus Reviews
