How to get the most from these
Talk to the dragon
The turn in every one of these is the moment somebody asks the dragon what is wrong. Point at it — children copy that move faster than any instruction about conflict.
Armor is a metaphor children get
Ask what your child would put on their shield. It is a light question that reliably produces a serious answer about what matters to them.

Frequently asked questions
Are there battles in these stories?
No sword fights and nobody is hurt. Tension comes from a standoff that gets resolved by talking, which keeps them bedtime-safe.
What age suits knight stories?
Four to ten. The youngest come for the castle, and by seven they are following the negotiation.
