<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Kenny Rabbit's jealousy leads to trouble after Dante the Manticore escapes from an evil witch's magical book and reunites with his old friend, Grahame the Dragon.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>In this highly anticipated sequel to <i>New York Times </i>bestselling and Caldecott Honor-winning author Tony DiTerlizzi's <i>Kenny and the Dragon</i>, Kenny must cope with many changes in his life--including the fear that he's losing his best friend.</b> <p/>What can come between two best friends? <p/>Time has passed since Kenny Rabbit's last adventure with his best friend, the legendary dragon Grahame, and a lot has changed in the sleepy village of Roundbrook. <p/>For starters, Kenny has a whole litter of baby sisters. His friends are at different schools and Sir George is off adventuring. <p/>At least Kenny still has his very <i>best</i> friend, Grahame. That's before Dante arrives. Dante is a legendary manticore <i>and</i> an old friend of Grahame's. Old friends spend a lot of time catching up. And that catching up does not involve Kenny. <p/>But there's a Witch to defeat, a pal to rescue, and a mysterious book to unlock. And those are quests for best friends, not old friends. Right?<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A long-eared young hero takes on a witch bent on trapping rare legendary creatures in a magical book. <p/> Not so much a pastiche of E. Nesbit's short story "Book of Beasts" as an original novel with cribbed elements, this adventuresome outing regathers and expands the animal cast of DiTerlizzi's 2008 reworking of <i>The Reluctant Dragon</i> (titled <i>Kenny & the Dragon</i>) for a fresh challenge...this oblique homage to a now-creaky classic is lit by friendships, heroic feats, and exceptional art." - <i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><br>"This may be a cozy world filled with darling animals--DiTerlizzi's fabulous illustrations bring them adorably to life--but the stakes are high, and the lessons on friendship, acceptance, and the dangers of prejudice are meaningful. It's certainly worth the return to the remarkable Roundbrook and its residents." - <i>Booklist</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Tony DiTerlizzi is a #1 <i>New York Times</i> bestselling author and illustrator who has been creating books for twenty years.
