The One-stop Story Shop by Tracey Corderoy, Illustrated by Tony Neal A fabulously engaging, unpredictable picture book taking a twist on a tried and true combination- the knight and dragon. A brave knight heads out looking for his adversary, the dragon, for a wonderful battle. However, sadly he discovers the dragon has gone on a 2 week vacation. A neighbor suggests a nearby 'story shop' may have a dragon for battle, but to his dismay the shop is out of dragons. Perhaps a 'ferret' will do? The knight is skeptical, but the shopkeeper describes various adventures with the ferret— space, a western and an underwater adventure. As the scenarios unfold, the knight and dragon go from being opponents to partners against the evils of the universe forming an unlikely friendship. Wonderful illustrations and engaging text entertain children and adults alike. A magical, thought provoking winner for story time! Sales Representative, Joan Schimmels
