Product Description
What do you do when your new best buddy has been designated a scourge by the community and marked for imminent extermination? Just ask Kenny Rabbit. When the simple folks in the sleepy little village of Roundbrook catch wind that there's a dragon running loose in the countryside, they get the wrong idea and the stage is set for a fight to the death. So it's up to Kenny to give his neighbors front-row seats to one of the best-known battles in history -- the legendary showdown between St. George and the dragon -- without losing a friend in the fray.

 charming dragon story for young dragon fans December 17, 2008
Kenny Rabbit befriends Grahame the Dragon is this comical fairy tale by Spiderwick illustrator and picture book author di Terlizzi. The village of Roundbrook is populated by talking forest creatures such as rabbits, badgers and moles (note that the two main characters are named Kenneth and Grahame, a subtle tribute to Wind and the Willows author Kenneth Grahame. This peaceful dragon loves books and creme brulee, but nonetheless pressure mounts among the townspeople to destroy the dragon. Who will battle him? Retired knight George the Badger, a local bookstore owner (another witty reference to the legend of St. George and the dragon) seems the likely candidate. Can Kenny save his dragon friend? The book features delightful black and white pencil illustrations.
Dragon Adventure November 25, 2008
Very interesting book about a smart boy who encounters a dragon and goes on a grand adventure. The exact type of book i have grown up reading and the type of book i encourage my son to read. This book sparks the imagination in kids and will keep your child's attention from beginning to end. Recommended highly.
 Fun read November 10, 2008
I never really take the time to write reviews, but for this book I really feel compelled to. I am an adult who likes to check out kids books(for me and my kid and nieces and nephews) and this is one of my favorites. Its just a really fun story, it's light and it just makes you smile at the end. I definitely recommend it.
Grand Adventure October 22, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is both written and illustrated by Tony DiTerlizzi. This is a fantastic story of a young bibliophile named Kenny. Kenny has always felt a little on the outside - he loves books, and his pursuit of knowledge is almost relentless. At school when he has to do presentations the other students become bored and have even fallen asleep. Then his life changes drastically for his father finds a dragon in his pastures on their farm property. Kenny goes to investigate.
Kenny's only close friend in town is a retiree named George who owns a bookshop in town. It was from George's shop that he has borrowed a book called The King's Royal Bestiary. This book had a section on dragons so Kenny took it with him when he went to investigate the dragon his father found. The dragon was not at all what he expected. First the dragon's name is Grahame, and Grahame loves books, poetry music and dessert.
Kenny wants George and Grahame to meet but something gets in the way. The town finds out about the dragon, and The King has commissioned his champion to kill the beast. Kenny must find a way to save his friend.
This is a great adventure. Kenny is a smart young boy who loves books. He also loves adventure and he faces a battle. DiTerlizzi has created a wonderful story. It would be nice to meet Kenny again in further adventures.
