Product Description

Newly imagined tales from the world of Little Pilgrim now for early readers!

The King's Cadets and Little Joe is a collection of five short stories following the characters from the land of Little Pilgrim. Early readers will be absorbed in the delightful tales and captivated by the enchanting woodland illustrations as they adventure with three brothers, Matthew, James, and Little Joe. The rabbits spend their days playing in the fields and woods of the Land of Delight and dream of growing up to one day be soldiers of the King, like their hero, Great Heart. Wielding wooden swords and shields, they call themselves the King's Cadets. These knights in training, including the littlest brother who's confident he's big enough to join, set out on courageous missions of their own. Their bravery and boldness get them into trouble from time to time, and they occasionally need a little direction from their wise woodland friends.

Readers will return to the adventures and misadventures of The King's Cadets and Little Joe again and again.
