Book Reviews of Saint George and the Dragon
Book Review: A Good Beginning Look at the Wonders of Medieval myths
Summary: 5 Stars
The book is a great read for upper elementary students, although younger ones will enjoy the story if read to them.The pages are filled with dynamic images of the dragon and the knight's confrontations with the savage creature. The knight, the princess, and other characters conform to accepted and commonly perceived appearances of persons in European fairytales.
The theme of perseverance is easily recognizable with its simple text.
Children should read this book because it provides the legend that is the basis for many other literary works. Students should be able to draw comparisons between this story and other adaptations, be they printed or in other forms.
