I found this book because I follow the illustrator (Cory Godbey) on Instagram. WOW. These illustrations are fantastic and magical and perfectly fit the mood of the story! I also liked the new angle on the theme "don't be afraid of the dark".

Personally I loved the illustrations and the idea but it was a little all over the place AND the sentence structures seemed pretty off for the ages of the kids I do storytime with.

I think this might be a good fit for a kit who's terrified of the night. The knights are like superheroes and they work tirelessly to protect sleeping children. I don't know that I would introduce this with a young child who *isn't* afraid of the night, because it might inspire some fear.
I liked that there were men, women, and creature knights, and I thought the illustrations were beautifully dark and bold.

A beautifully illustrated story meant to remind you not to be afraid of night, or monsters. It's a bit intense so maybe not for the very young, but really the illustrations are stunning.

I grabbed this book solely based on the cover, and I'm happy to say I was not disappointed! The illustrations were vivid, beautiful, and really complemented the story. Our son has recently started talking about monsters and being afraid of the dark, so this book was perfect!
The Night Knights was an enjoyable story about monsters and the knights that fight them. "But if this is true, is it not strange that not once, not once, has a child ever been taken, or gotten, or bit? Is it not strange that not once, not once, has a monster ever actually been seen?"
I love that the author never confirms or denies the existence of monsters, but continues to describe the knights and their unseen battles. I know I've said this already, but the illustrations were breathtaking. We read this one multiple times in a row, and it's definitely one we will be adding to our shelves at home.
