First sentence: United in friendship, they spent their days riding, jousting, and slaying giants. Yet each night, darkness befell them. By law of the land feasting, fighting, and fun ended at the stroke of seven. At that hour all babies were banished to bedtime.
Premise/plot: Mustache Baby (aka Billy) is back with his good buddy, Javier, in Good Knight, Mustache Baby by Bridget Heos. In this adventure, Mustache Baby swears to DEFY bedtime. But resisting all the authority in the kingdom is easier said than done...
My thoughts: I really LOVED, LOVED, LOVED this one. Mustache Baby is always good for a laugh. This one is no exception. In fact, I think it might be my favorite of the series? Maybe. It'd be hard to say. It might be a case of the most recently read is my favorite. Still, this one is worth checking out (or, you know, buying). My favorite quote, "He fought valiantly, but in the end he was captured by the Lord and Lady of the House of Mustache...and banished to the castle turret."
The text and illustrations work together well. The illustrations add to the humor for sure.
