Full of heart and humor, this early reader graphic novel series stars two best friends in a fantastical medieval setting, perfect for fans of Narwhal and Jelly and Peter & Ernesto Wallace is a knightly horse who loves rules. Poppy is a free-spirit dragon who loves adventure. These two unlikely pals disagree on most everything--but still manage to have a lot of fun-filled shenanigans together in the Land of La-Dee-Dah. Told in three short and silly stories with subtle social-emotional themes, this young graphic novel follows the everyday adventures of two best buds as they step out of their comfort zones, discover hidden powers, and eat a LOT of banana pudding. With a high-interest fantasy setting, accessible reading level, and kid-perfect humor, this series is designed for emerging and reluctant readers alike.
