Grosset & Dunlap, 1997. Intermediate. 91 p.
After
hearing many a dragon tales from a passing minstrel who foretold him
that one day he will be mighty hero, Wiglaf decides to join Dragon
Slayer’s Academy with his trusty pig- Latin-speaking pig Daisy. But the
academy is nothing
like he expected and he is not quite sure he can kill a dragon.
This
is a great read aloud for the family; parents will enjoy the inside
jokes throughout this spoof of brave knights and fierce dragons. The
comical situations will have the beginner reader wanting the next in the
series.
