I don't really read less than 500 pages books. So reading this was quite different and a bit childish than i would have gone for in a book. Quite a good book.

Sir Roderick is training to become a knight. He’s so sure he will be the greatest in the land, even better than Sir Gawain and Sir Galahad, that he started writing down his steps to success story in a diary. He wants to make sure everything is documented so that readers in the future will have all of his exciting events right on the page.
At first his assignments are very spectacular, he was assigned to clean the pigeon poo from the side of the castle wall at Doddingford Castle where he stays. He also had to wash all of the flags around the castle too. He discovered that learning to use a sword wasn’t as easy as other knights made it look. Needless to say, becoming a knight doesn’t seem to be as glamourous as Sir Roderick had thought.
Author Tim Collins has created a hilarious read for any early chapter book or middle grade reader. Inside, readers will find fun black and white illustrations and Get Real fun facts that share life in the early days of kingdoms and knighthood. Parents and teachers can use this as a read-a-loud tool and to open up discussions about life, unfortunate incidents and enjoy sharing their own stories of mishap.

Loved it.
Would recommend.
Exactly the kind of books I'd want the young me to have read.
A balanced read. Has both, the funny bits and little informative tidbits sprinkled around.
Roderick wants to be a knight. So what happens when he is knighted just because of a delirious waking up of someone.
Do make your little ones read it. It has Children's Digest vibes to it.
Stories, with a little did you know kind of fact box in between.

Roderick fantasizes about being a knight, and his dream comes true. Humorous, yet informative. Entertaining and fun.

Je ziet het er aan de buitenkant niet meteen aan af, maar dit is een heel leuk en leerzaam boekje. Het verhaal is spannend en grappig. Zo wil de gevangene in de kerker graag een goede gevangene zijn en vraagt hij om zwaardere lijfstraffen. Om hem een plezier te doen draait Roderick de duimschroeven nog maar eens lekker stevig aan.
Het lopende verhaal wordt hier en daar aangevuld met weetjes. Die staan op een grijze ondergrond. Daardoor is dit boek een soort mix van fictie en non-fictie. Van harte aanbevolen als het tijdvak Ridders en monniken aan de orde komt in de klas!
