About this item
Prepare the shining armor - the king's in need of a new knight! But with Sir Simpleton "helping" Sam train in all the wrong ways, how will he EVER master the tricks of the trade? Knight needed. Apply at castle. In just one week, the king intends to choose a new knight - and Sir Simpleton intends to make sure that young Sam has mastered all the skills he needs to know, from riding a big horse to rescuing a princess. Unfortunately, Sir Simpleton may not be the very best trainer: he dons a chicken suit instead of armor, fights a bored cow instead of a fiery dragon, and seeks wisdom from a bearded goat . . . instead of a wizard. Will Sam succeed in spite of his "teacher"? Kids will laugh out loud at the wildly funny illustrations - and enjoy watching a smart child outwit a delightfully silly adult.
About the Author
My list of the greatest things in life is pretty short: Watching a 1-year-old walk. Tickling a 2-year-old. Listening to a 3-year-old talk about his day. Seeing my own little kids blossom into big kids.Somewhere there's a parent and a child cuddled up together reading a book, maybe even under the covers by flashlight. And there is giggling and page-turning and flailing limbs and joy and snot and probably some farting. And how great is that? It's the greatest.Visit me at toddtarpley.com.
