| book description |

The perfect picture book for children who have discovered the power of the word ""NO""! Praise for The Knight Who Said ""No!"": ""Very funny, wry observations of children's behaviour"" - The Bookseller Ned the knight ALWAYS does exactly what he's told. When his parents ask him to pick up his toys, dig up the cabbages or go to bed on time, he does it all with a smile. And when the dragon swoops into town every night, he always runs inside just as he's asked. But one morning, instead of saying, ""yes"", he says, ""NO!""; He will NOT help his dad find his shield, his arrow or his bow, and he will certainly NOT let the butcher go past. That night, he refuses to go inside, and in doing so he confronts the dragon, making a very unlikely friend . . . Lucy Rowland is a children's speech and language therapist and has written many picture books including the highly successful Little Red Reading Hood. Kate Hindley is an award-winning illustrator who was nominated for the Carnegie Medal for her work on Who Ate Steve?. This rambunctious, rhyming picture book is a brilliantly observed portrait of children's behaviour, with vibrant, detailed illustrations. Children and adults alike will fall in love with little knight Ned and the very cute but lonely dragon he befriends. Includes a FREE Nosy Crow Stories Aloud® audiobook!
