Attack of the Underwear Dragon

A great adventure filled with action, aspiration and fun. The main character is a plucky boy with aspirations to become a knight. His determination , courage and resilience make him a likeable and inspiring character for children. The illustrations are full of detail and humour.A great book for adventure lovers!

My 4 year old loves this book. Great message and he is interested in dragon and knights.

I wish I had read the description more closely before ordering this book. It notes that “when the unthinkable happens and Cole is the only knight left” — midway through the story all the other knights are killed (eaten by the dragon). In the end Cole is made a knight and seems not at all troubled by this even though the opening is entirely about his adoration for his hero, Sir Percival (including “things that make knights cry”). Either Cole is a sociopath or the death of all one’s friends is not something that makes a knight cry.The beginning of this book is so delightful it seems bizarre and a shame for the biggest plot twist being wholesale explicit murder of everyone the protagonist knows. Our 4 year old is a bit precocious in understanding what death is and being very curious and concerned about it. If your child is similar you should avoid this book.Agreed with other reviewers that the art is lovely but the story is inexplicable and odd.

The book makes little sense, there is no reason for the dragon wearing underpants, the story is disjointed and doesn't deserve the glowing reviews it has. I will be careful to find other sources of review before spending $16 on a book that's not worth that. A plus though for including people of color. That was nice. I'm returning it due to it being dopey.

We LOVE this book! My kid is 8.5 and loved it. I am a grown adult and laughed out and read it twice by myself. It is clever, funny, inspiring, and wonderful. Definitely recommend!
