Kenny Rabbit is a bookish sort of a boy. He lives on a farm with his parents, and his best friend is the town's bookseller. Then Kenny's dad spies a dragon on their farm, and Kenny learns that not everything you read in books is true, certainly not when it comes to dragons. THIS dragon loves creme brulée and hasn't ever eaten a princess. Unfortunately, the townsfolk are fearful of having a dragon in their midst, and Kenny must come up with a daring plan to save his new friend.
I absolutely fell in love with this sweet story of friendship, loyalty, bravery, and ingenuity! I can see why it won Switzerland's Prix Chronos award, which, according to <a rel="nofollow" href="http://diterlizzi.com/home/category/kenny-the-dragon/">Tony DiTerlizzi's website</a> is "an inter-generational book award with the ambition to encourage people to read and to bring together generations: children at the age of 10 to 12 and elderly people together read and review five nominated books."
For readers' advisors: It's got some great vocabulary words, so it might be a bit of a stretch for some 3rd and 4th graders, but it would make a great choice for reading with an adult at bedtime.

Kenny & the Dragon by Tony DiTerlizzi is the story of a rabbit named Kenny who befriends a peaceful, book-loving dragon out in the countryside. However, the townspeople have heard of the dragon, are afraid, and intend to try to kill it. Kenny and his friends and the dragon fool the townspeople and create a living drama that turns the tide for this kindly dragon.
