Bookroo's summary

In a quest from Camp Camelot, a girl and her dragon face a knight who claims the dragon is too big and green to join their games. As playtime turns sour, the girl stands up for her friend, but others remain silent. Determined to change the rules, they petition the king. Will their courage and a roundtable discussion convince the bully that everyone deserves to play? Discover how bravery and friendship can transform a kingdom in this tale of adventure and acceptance.

From the publisher

Setting out from Camp Camelot in search of a noble quest, a girl and her dragon friend cross swords with a bully of a knight. The bully says the dragon is too big, tall and green to play knights. Suddenly, playtime is spoiled. The girl stands up for the dragon, but the other bystanders let the bully do as he pleases. It’s time for a petition to the king! After a roundtable discussion, the bully comes to accept that everyone has a right to play – no matter how big, tall or green they are! This winning combination of adventure and information provides the perfect starting point for discussions about bullying. The Tale of Sir Dragon: Dealing with Bullies for Kids (and Dragons) offers a constructive approach to an important subject.
