About this item
Brave Peter, a young knight, stands on the lookout, protecting the castle. A ferocious dragon creeps out of the woods! Brave Peter charges after him - until wheeze, wheeze, sputter, sputter - it's time for My Lady, his mother, to bring the rescue inhaler. Soon a trip to the doctor follows, and Brave Peter learns how to manage his asthma and keep fit for fighting dragons. Kids with asthma - and their parents - will appreciate Janna Matthies's funny and informative story. Anthony Lewis's playful paintings add just the right touch.
