(3) K-3 Illustrated by Inga Moore. This is an abridged story from Nesbit's The Book of Dragons. Young Lionel is building a palace with his blocks one morning when Nurse comes in with a startling announcement: "Master Lionel, dear, they've come to fetch you to go and be King." The cheerfully understated text and the glorious watercolor illustrations show a quintessentially British child in sweater, shorts, and crown, going off to deal with a dragon.
