Kenny & the Dragon by Tony DiTerlizzi

Kenneth is a little rabbit with a very big problem.  His two best friends are heading for a battle of legendary proportions--with each other!  In one corner there's Graeme, a well-read and cultured dragon with sophisticated tastes and no stomach for battle.  In the other, there's George, a retired knight and dragon slayer who would be content to spend the rest of his days in his bookshop with a pipe and a good book.  But when the townsfolk in Kenneth's sleepy little village catch wind that there's a dragon running loose in the countryside and call George out of retirement, the stage is set.  And it's up to Kenny to avert disaster.New York Times Bestseller Tony DiTerlizzi puts a fun-filled, thoroughly theatrical spin on Kenneth Graeme's classic tale of subterfuge and showmanship with this lighthearted romp of a retelling where it's up to one clever little rabbit to give his neighbors front row seats for one of the best-known battles in history, the showdown between St. George and the Dragon. What do you do when your new best buddy has been designated a scourge by the community and marked for imminent extermination? Just ask Kenny Rabbit. When the simple folks in the sleepy little village of Roundbrook catch wind that there's a dragon running loose in the countryside, they get the wrong idea and the stage is set for a fight to the death. So it's up to Kenny to give his neighbors front-row seats to one of the best-known battles in history — the legendary showdown between St. George and the dragon — without losing a friend in the fray.
