King Jack and the Dragon

This is charmingly illustrated by Helen Oxenbury (illustrators of "we're going on a bear hunt") and tells the story of three little boys, enjoying adventures in both the great outdoors and using their imaginations.Priya liked the rhyming bits and especially that Jack and Zak's names rhymed. She also liked joining in with words such as "rreaaaaargh" and talking about the fighting dragons and beasts. Isha also liked the fighting dragons and beasts. Priya especially liked the two-headed monster with lots of arms and legs, but was it a monster?Although Priya did say the book didn't have any girls in, she has been inspired to build camps after reading the story!We liked the illustrations, the beasts reminded us of the monsters in Where the Wild Things Are
