Tied for my favorite children's book with The Forbidden Door, but wins because of its totally kickass heroine who is not only a feminist superstar (along with the "bad" dragon and giantess who later become not so bad after all) who wins in the end not with actual buttkicking but by making the wizard laugh. Really, a perfect story.

ruby imagines what it would be like to be a knight and fight dragons. Length is one on one. cute

I don't mind the imagination part in general, but the girls-can-be-knights got old fast.

Ruby the Red Knight is one of my favorite children's books. I read this hundreds of times to my daughters. Love the strong female character in a children's book that so goes against the many helpless Disney princess. My daughter's loved it. Would love to see it reprinted as I tried to search and our library no longer has a copy.
