Kenny and the Dragon

by Tony DiTerlizzi

BIG tier. READ. @diterlizzi + @simonkids screened clean. Kenneth Grahame / Reluctant Dragon easter egg is CUT from the caption (save for a comment reply or Story). Bookshop ISBN 9781442436510 (pbk, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers). CAPTION LINE (Carly's approved heart line, recovered from the reel-template thread 6/9): Grahame is a dragon who would rather recite poetry and watch the stars than fight a single soul, and Kenny takes on the whole town to keep him safe. Your kids will come away searching every hillside for a Grahame of their own to make their very best friend. SLIDE LINE still a Claude draft pending Carly's actual cover wording.
