A boy imagines himself to be a knight on a great adventure: going to bed. As he goes through his nightly routine, the dichotomy between word and image, and the mix of reality and fantasy blend together. While the color palette feels a bit over-bright for a bedtime book, the retro style is visually appealing and the boy's pre-bedtime tasks will be calmingly familiar to young readers.
