K-Gr 3—Farré brings this unique and childlike version of the 12th-century legend to life in tantalizing and humorous poetic prose. St. George, a courageous and virtuous knight, frees the land from a horrendous dragon that has been terrorizing the countryside, indiscriminately eating beasts and humans alike. He arrives just in time to save the princess and hence her people, gently declining the honor of marrying her on the grounds of his righteousness. Canals's elaborate and colorful pop-up illustrations are the perfect complement to a creatively told story. Although it can be read in a group setting, it will be more effective if read individually or in a one-on-one situation so the illustrations can be fully appreciated.—Narda McCarthy, Para Los Niños, Broward County, FL
