The Grand Tournament

Beschreibung

Come friends to the delicious land of Dancia, where mountains are edible, soda springs bubble up from the ground and everybody knows "if it's sweet, it's good to eat." Join Princess Illyana and her companions in The Grand Tournament as they blow really big bubbles, shoot arrow snakes, and bowl hedgehogs. The Grand Tournament finds Sir Sylas and friends converging at the palace to reunite with Princess Illyana and to compete in the tournament. Slowpoke, Sylas' steed, can't seem to stay out of mischief. Princess Illyana is exercising her statesmanship officiating the tournament, but she has a surprise up her sleeve. Competitions ensue and good natured rivalries are formed. This book explores a theme of winning and losing. With hand painted watercolor illustrations on all 46 pages this book was created to delight children of all ages.
