What do You think about A Wedding For Wiglaf? (2003)?
Dragon Slayer’s Academy: A Wedding For Wiglaf?Paperback SeriesGrade 2-3The cover shows the princess giving her back to a jaw-dropped Wiglaf who holds her hand while on one knee. The illustrator, Bill Blasso, uses ink to create expressive black and white cartoon illustrations of the comical characters and scenes in this book. The illustrator gives Wiglaf a dramatic and alarmed expression on the cover that captures Wiglaf's less than excited feelings about his wedding plans. McMullan includes a lot of eccentric characters and humorous situations in this story. The princess wants to marry a redheaded dragon slayer whose name begins with a “W.” The headmaster of Dragon Slayer Academy, Mordred, finds the perfect husband for the princess: Wiglaf. Only Wiglaf does not want to get married, even if it is to a wealthy princess, and the headmaster needs to “teach this riffraff some manners.” Students would really enjoy this book because of the humorous things the characters say and do. The Dragon Slayer Academy series is great to use for reading fluency development because children will enjoy reading these fun, quick easy-to-read stories, and look forward to the next set of laughs.
