Grade 4-6-An unusual birthday gift propels three friends through space and time as they find their wish for adventure coming true with a vengeance in this unabridged reading of two adventures by Jon Scieszka. When Joe's uncle, a practicing magician, sends him an innocent-looking book, Joe's friends Sam and Fred are less than impressed. But when Joe opens the book, unleashing a swirling green mist, the trio find themselves thrust into battle with a ferocious black knight, outwitting Bleob the giant, and destroying a dragon all under the admiring eyes of King Arthur and the suspicious glare of Merlin the wizard in Knights of the Kitchen Table (Viking, 1991). Using a combination of ingenuity and luck, the boys then match wits with Blackbeard the Pirate and his crew of evil doers in The Not-So-Jolly Roger (Viking, 1991). Wonderful characterizations by William Dufris (whose giant sounds remarkably like the Cookie Monster!) coupled with short, cliffhanging chapters, make this a guaranteed hit for the elementary school crowd.
