"Mummies mamba. / Serpents samba. / Wicked witches do the waltz." A prince and his teddy watch the Madcap Monster Ball. As the castle's creepiest inhabitants get down, one by one the six sleeping knights, all cleverly named (Sir Prize, Sir Loin), wake up and join the fun. The rhymes are snappy and the charcoal, pencil, and digital illustrations spiritedly macabre.
