The Bravest Knight

by Mercer Mayer

Book Overview

I wish I lived a thousand years ago. There would be beautiful castles, kings and queens, good knights, bad knights, fair ladies in danger, evil dragons from the mountains, and a giant troll that roars and eats anything.

Customer Reviews

One of Mayer's best books

All 3 of my children, 2, 4 and 6 absolutely love this story. Its a keeper for the grandkids someday!

A Great Knight Tale!

This book is great for the child who loves knights, but isn't ready for a lot of text. In typical Mercer Mayer manner, a lot of the story, and all of the humor, is found in the illustrations. For those who might be sensitive, be aware that the knight who the boy is squire for, gets killed by the bad guy at the end of the book, prompting the boy to decide he doesn't want to be a knight after all. The death of the knight is implied, and not shown.

Great Book!

The images in this book are wonderful and the storyline is very good also. My 5yo who is really into knights really loves this book.
