The Reluctant Dragon (Latimer)

When a peace-loving dragon settles in a hillside cave, the entire village is thrown into panic except for young Will who knows there's more to dragons than meets the eye. While the townspeople prepare for battle and summon a knight to defeat the 'fearsome beast,' Will discovers the dragon is actually a gentle, poetry-loving creature who wants nothing more than peace and companionship. With wit, music, and heart, The Reluctant Dragon reminds us not to judge others by appearances and that sometimes the most heroic thing you can do is be a friend.
