Sleepless Knight is a short, quick graphic novel for young readers that would be perfect for bedtime storytime. The text and pictures are simple enough for kids to follow on their own, but would also lend themselves well to reading out loud.

The description mentions the starring knight is a "she," but there's really no way to know the gender of the knight from the book itself. The knight's face is never shown, nor is the knight ever named, and all of the gear the knight brings on the camping trip is rather gender-neutral. As such, Sleepless Knight will be just as appealing and relatable for boys as for girls.

Personally, I wasn't much of a fan of the knight, since the knight seems to take advantage of Edward, the horse, without showing Edward much gratitude or kindness. But kids will laugh at how laden with gear Edward is for the trip and how the knight comments on the "hard work" when really it's Edward who does all of the work.

Note: I received a digital galley of this book through NetGalley. ( )

It's a fun bedtime book for a child and their teddy bear. ( )

With a title that has play on words, this graphic novel tells a story about a knight who is all set to go camping, but just before bed he realizes his favorite thing is missing. This graphic novel can appeal to all ages of students who enjoy this type of mystery-like story. ( )

Silas, age 9, says this book is pretty funny and has a good story. His favorite part is when he got his teddy back. Would read more by this author. :) ( )

The artwork is fabulous, but I found the Knight to be a very unsympathetic character and not a good influence for children. He overburdens his horse, leave him outside while he sleeps inside with his teddy, and doesn't seem to care for the horse at all. Not my first pick when there are so many great children's book to choose from. ( )
