I am nominating TAKE CARE, GOOD KNIGHT by Shelley Moore Thomas for the Gabriel Award for excellence in children's literature about dragons and castles. In the story, three dragons are enlisted by their good friend, the Wizard, to watch his cats while he is away. The dragons are happy to oblige; however, they do not know how to read and consequently cannot follow the wizard's instructions. The Good Knight comes to their rescue.
