Bookroo's summary

Sam dreams of becoming a knight, but his mentor, Sir Simpleton, is more hindrance than help. With only a week to prepare, Sam faces absurd challenges like fighting cows instead of dragons and seeking advice from goats. Can Sam overcome his mentor's blunders and prove himself worthy of knighthood? Dive into this hilarious tale of a clever boy outwitting a foolish adult, filled with laugh-out-loud moments and whimsical illustrations.

From the publisher

Prepare the shining armor: the king needs a knight! Sir Simpleton has a week to train young Sam for the job–but he gets everything wrong, fighting a bored cow instead of a fiery dragon and seeking wisdom from a bearded goat . . . instead of a wizard. Will Sam succeed in spite of his “teacher”? Kids will love the wildly funny illustrations and watching a wily child outsmart a delightfully silly adult.
