Synopsis

Sir Laughalot is a very brave knight. He needs to find some foes to fight. He has his shield. He has his sword. But Laughalot is feeling bored. What can he do? Where can he go? Let's find Sir Laughalot a foe...Sir Laughalot is a knight who isn't afraid of a challenge. He's quite prepared to go out into the world to face any fearsome opponent. However, Sir Laughalot has a very different, yet effective way of dealing with his foes, and one that isn't strictly in keeping with his 'tough knight in armour' look...A hugely exciting, hilarious tale of a brave knight, an enormous dragon and a damsel in distress makes this an absolute gem of a picture book. The thread of fun running throughout Sir Laughalot is incredibly infectious - reading this story will make you feel instantly more cheery.
