Brave Young Knight

Karen Kingsbury had a beautifully written book for young girls, that even my boys wanted to read due to the character showed of the knight and story line. We were delighted to see this book available, which in turn, though written primarily for boys, I find my girls enjoying it repetitively as well. That is the mark of a well written book. The purpose of the story is food for the soul, true, and spurring for young readers. This book is on repeat in our household, and I do not mind at all. I want the message of character over, strategy, brawn, and even skill, or the illusion of skill, to trump. We recommend.

What a great book for young boys, especially those who love castles and knights. This knight is given an opportunity to compete with two other knights for a chance to become prince. He worries over not being the fastest, strongest or smartest but the competition reveals the other knights are lacking in honesty and integrity. The brave knight is brave because he is brave enough to tell the truth and act with integrity even when he appears slower, weaker and not as smart. He becomes the prince because the king recognizes this. I gave it four stars only because while the knight is well rewarded for his bravery in being honest (becomes prince) we aren’t always recognized or rewarded for honesty in this world, yet we must still be honest. This is a conversation I have with my kids when reading this, that it’s a heavenly reward and not always an earthly one, which may not be explicitly spelled out in the book. Even then the lesson to equate being honest as an act of courage and bravery is valuable and quite true.

This is a beautifully illustrated children’s book. My children love it.

Lessons that all boys and men shoudl learn and live by and really ot just males, ladies too. Great companion book to The Princess and the Knight by the same author.. Delightful pictures

Sweet story to read to children. About a boy wanting to become prince and gets there by doing what's right when others seemed to outdo him. His honesty and integrity is more desirable to "the King" (representing the Lord) than the strength speed and brains of the others. Lovely book! My boys love it.

I bought this book for my 5 year old nephew because he likes knights and castles. I had to send it back---- because NO WHERE in the description does it saw that it has a religious base. While I wouldn't have minded that -- my niece would not have allowed her son to read this book. The religious aspect should have been mentioned so that folks could make an informed decision.

I am a HUGE KK fan! So I purchased this for my son (who is almost 5) for Christmas! I LOVE it!! This is a very well done book! I love the morals behind it! I loved reading it to my son at bedtime....helping him learn to be a "Brave Young Knight"! Well done KK!! Keep it up! :)

This is such a sweet story of the Brave Young Knight. I purchased this for my nephew and I am so glad to have a book featuring a focus on characteristics of honesty and bravery.

Great book, with a lovely message for any boy. My son liked it. The illustrations are lovely.Thanks,

A great book to read to your kids

encouraging!
