Once upon a time there was a knight called Sir Bragalot who liked to brag and boast all day long … One day, the Queen sends him on a dangerous quest. But can Sir Bragalot save the kingdom, or will he just live up to his name?
Oh, Sir Bragalot! is a laugh-out-loud book about a cheeky knight who loves to brag and boast about what an amazingly brave knight he is. The story is fast paced and filled with dialogue that leaps off the page and begs to be performed. My William, age 11, adores the humour in this book and his hapless knight voice is pitch perfect. He discovered it last year when reading The Midnight Guardians and Here Be Dragons!
This book is quite similar in feel and content to Here Be Dragons. One of the main differences is that all the characters in this story are portrayed as animals. It reminds me of Disney’s animated Robin Hood and also of the cartoon element of Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
This book is pacey, funny and there is a delightful twist in the tale.
At the heart is a message for us all about the importance of modesty and the dangers of bragging.
If you love slapstick humour, hapless knights, knowing horses, over confident rabbits and baby dragons (!!!) then this is the book for you x
The story of the World’s Best Bragger is written and illustrated by Sharon Davey.
