The Knight Who Said, “NO!”

Description Share Post The Knight Who Said, “NO!” Lucy Rowland and Kate Hindley (Nosy Crow) The Knight Who Said, “NO!” is Ned. He awakens one day a changed boy. Suddenly he will not fetch the milk or help his father prepare for his tournament. In fact, Ned won’t come in for tea! What will happen when Ned’s warned to come indoors as the dragon swoops over the town? After all, Ned needs to follow good advice, and keep safe, doesn’t he? Then again, does he see something the townspeople don’t when he looks at the dragon? Kate Hindley‘s bright, full, descriptive pictures are such great fun. Bookwagon loves the page where the butcher, fishmonger and baker stand stunned by Ned’s refusals. The colour blocking and framing heightens the humour and drama. Lucy Rowland creates perfectly tuned rhymes. Her storytelling is adept and clever. Just think of Wanda’s Words Got Stuck! Thereafter, we wonder, why does Ned awaken with a changed attitude? Thereafter, could it be something to do with the dragon? Furthermore, might he be able to explain? Bookwagon loves the way that the conclusion is left open to change. The Knight Who Said, “NO!” is likely to be a favourite reading choice for individual readers and at story time. We delight in Lucy Rowland’s picture books!
