鎮上的水井裡出現了一條會噴火的龍！消息一傳開，居民立刻陷入恐慌：有人說牠是邪惡的野獸，有人認定小鎮遭到了詛咒，恐懼愈傳愈大，最後甚至聚集成拿著草叉的憤怒人群。只有一個熟讀龍類百科的孩子不斷告訴大家：這條龍其實沒有危險。
但在人人忙著害怕的時候，還有誰願意聽她說話？本書以熱鬧幽默的傳統「騎士與龍」故事為框架，透過居民從猜測、恐慌到集體失控的過程，帶孩子分辨事實與傳言，也提醒我們在下判斷之前，不妨先多了解眼前的對象。鮮明插畫中藏有許多有趣細節，適合親子共讀與課堂討論。
● 顛覆傳統的惡龍故事，真正愈來愈可怕的，反而是被恐懼推動的人群
● 從孩子的龍類知識與居民的傳言形成對比，自然帶出查證事實、獨立思考的重要
● 推薦給喜歡 Knight Owl、How to Train Your Dragon、Dragons Love Tacos 的讀者
Terror takes over the town when a harmless dragon moves into the well in this humorous picture book about overcoming preconceived ideas born out of fear.
A fire-breathing dragon is discovered in the well, and the townsfolk are quick to panic. "A wicked, foul BEAST," wails the local knitting club. "This MONSTER is relentless," proclaims the clergyman. "Our poor town is CURSED," goes up the sad lament.
But wait . . . is this dragon really as dangerous as they think?
Despite one child's& insistence that the dragon is harmless--based on her encyclopedic dragon knowledge--fear quickly turns into something even bigger and scarier than a fiery beast hidden in the dark: an angry mob! Will the villagers be able to quiet their yelling, put down their pitchforks, and conquer their fear in time to realize that sometimes a dragon in a well might turn out to be a gift rather than a curse?
Join in the fun of this lively tale, bursting with colorful illustrations and ticklish details, to discover the power of facts over freak-outs and the enriching value of compassionate understanding.
KNIGHT & DRAGON LOVE: This wise and witty reimagining of the perennial knight and dragon narrative is for fans of Knight Owl, How to Train Your Dragon, and Dragons Love Tacos.
WHAT'S TRUE?: Speaking to classic themes like those in "The Emperor's New Clothes," "The Boy Who Cried Wolf," and "Chicken Little," this is a fantastic fable that asks readers, like the townspeople, to decide what is true and what is not.
ENERGETIC CLASSROOM BOOK: Great for school libraries and classrooms from pre-K through early elementary, the story makes a terrific jumping-off point for discussions about fact-based research, thinking for yourself, and, of course, cool dragons!
