Horace the Horrible: A Knight Meets His Match

32 pp. | Cavendish | October, 2003 | Trade ISBN 0-7614-5150-1 $$16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Jackie Urbanovic. Peace-loving Minuette is sent to her uncle Sir Horace the Horrible while her daddy recovers from the flu. Trying to convince her uncle that she'd rather have a hug than witness his heroics, such as slaying a dragon and vanquishing an army, she eventually persuades her fierce but clueless uncle that arms are for hugging. The story may be treacly, but the animated watercolors show a plucky, diminutive Minuette.
