Bookroo's summary

Three knights venture into the night, tasked by their king to find a dragon that keeps him awake. Armed with just one candle, they mistake every shadow for the beast they seek. As they confidently head home, they remain oblivious to the clever dragon lurking behind them. Will they ever realize the truth? This whimsical tale, filled with intricate illustrations and playful rhymes, invites young readers to spot the hidden dragon on each page, turning a simple quest into a delightful game of hide-and-seek.

From the publisher

In this delightful story, three knights go looking for a dragon in the dark. The king won’t sleep until they find it. The knights know everything about dragons.

Another stellar book by New York Times Best Illustrated Book recipient Leo Timmers, this title features Timmers’ trademark intricately detailed illustrations and a humorous contrast between the illustrations and the words.
