The Night Knights by Gideon Sterer, Cory Godbey

5.0

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.
