Sir Lambalot
“Queen Floss lives in a castle grand,
The finest one across the land.
Sir Lambalot is her busiest knight,
With quests to do both day and night.”
Queen Floss is determined to rid the land of dragons, giants and trolls, so she turns to Sir Lambalot and his trusty steed Ned to help. But when the brave knight meets these fearful creatures, he discovers they aren’t quite so scary after all. Written in rhyme and full of fun, this story has an important message about kindness, tolerance and acceptance.

My Review
If you love rhyming children’s books with outstanding illustrations, you’ll want to read Sir Lambalot. Sir Lambalot lives in a kingdom of adorable sheep. The Queen has many knights, but there are none as good as Sir Lambalot. The queen has been keeping him very busy with quests. She sends him on quests to protect the kingdom from giants, trolls, and dragons. But as Sir Lambalot meets of these characters, he finds that they are actually just lonely and misunderstood.
He brings each one back to meet the queen and she finds them something important to do. They are very pleased to have people to talk to and have tea with.
The artwork in the book is so bright that children’s attention will stay focused on the story. The rhyming patterns will make it a great book to read at bedtime or any time.
