Description
Despite being a dragon, Droofus is harmless, having been raised from a baby by a family of bunnies. Eventually he is spotted and a band of knights is dispatched to subdue the presumably dangerous beast and bring his head back to the king as a hall decoration. One day, a farmers son is searching for a lost sheep and finds it with Droofus and the bunnies, safe and sound. When Droofus later crashes in the farmers field, the farmers son speaks up. They work together to hide Droofus for as long as possible; Droofus returns the favor by helping around the farm. Eventually he is spotted, and the knights come calling once again. Can the farmers boy and his family save Droofus from a cruel fate? The clever ending is quite fun, making for an enjoyable read. 46 softcover pages with colorful illustrations, written and illustrated by Bill Peet. Laura
