When a good knight who’s keeping watch over the kingdom from the top of a “crumbly tumbly tower” hears a “very large, very loud roar” he knows right away that it’s a dragon. What he learns, to his surprise, is that it’s a very little dragon who wants a drink of water at bedtime. Being the good knight that he is, he feels compelled to oblige. This sets up the pattern for an extremely original, funny easy reader that blends the convention of perennial bedtime requests (the first dragon has two siblings) with knightly adventures. The author’s use of repetition, word play, and a few surprises will add to the young reader’s delight, as will Jennifer Pleca’s droll watercolor illustrations showing an increasingly put‑upon knight coming to the rescue of three wide‑eyed, wide‑awake little dragons. (Ages 4‑7)

Three little dragons in a far-off cave can't sleep. Someone needs to tuck them in! Luckily a Good Knight keeps watch and hears their lonely ROAR. The Good Knight (because he is a good knight) helps by bringing glasses of water, reading stories, singing songs, and dispensing kisses in multiple trips down his tower and through the dark forest. Young readers will fall in love with the agreeable Good Knight and the dragons with their sweet but repetitive requests. The repetition--though it tires the Good Knight--will help beginning readers build confidence. With pictures by Jennifer Plecas, whose unforgettably adorable dragons will win every heart, Good Night, Good Knight is sure to become a new bedtime classic.
