The Knights Before Christmas

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Scott Magoon. Three knights are "guarding the castle / for their illustrious king" on Christmas Eve. When Santa tries to deliver presents, these well-intentioned protectors of the castle take a defensive stance. A fierce (not really) battle plays out with Santa catapulting sugarplums and more as he "storms" the castle. This rousing medieval "Night Before Christmas" parody jingles with wordplay. Cheeky illustrations brim with good cheer.
