The Boy and the Dragon

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jim Harris. Diminutive Saul tags along with three older knights to find a dragon. The others fall by the wayside, one by one, as they meet a shapeshifting wizard, enter a very dark wood, and encounter an ogre. It's ultimately the underestimated little knight who banishes the beast. The story, told in workmanlike rhyme, is accompanied by cartoonish (sometimes unpolished) illustrations befitting the humorous quest.
