“Sleep peacefully my princess…” Thus begins this sweet, illustrated poem of a father
who night after night fights the monsters in her small daughter’s darkest imagination.
On his noble steed, he is her brave knight in shining armor, ready to destroy the
beasts and bogeymen that disturb her quiet dreams.

“I’ll ride my noble steed to battle,/My sword and shield held high./I’ll chase away
those demons, On my winged horse in the sky.”

This is the perfect kind of story for a father to read to his daughter before going to
bed.

...most children will enjoy this book cuddled up in bed at night.

Early readers may read this one on their own, though an adult should read it the first
time in order to explain that the ugly monsters coming out of the closet only exist in
the girl’s imagination.
