| In this rip-roaring picture book, readers are invited to the party of the year, as all monsters large and small throw the most outrageous, most bodacious bash of them all--the Madcap Monster Ball. Full color. |

From the Publisher:
When seven knights of the castle are awakened by the noise from the Madcap Monster Ball, they decide to join the party, along with a little prince and a princess from a picture frame.Place: the castle Time: late Event: the Madcap Monster Ball, the rockin'-est knee-knockin'-est beboppin'-est party of them all. It's impossible to sleep through. Just ask the prince Or his off-the-wall princess Or any of their seven (count 'em, seven) Boogie Knights. |
Annotation:
The Madcap Monster Ball is rocking and rolling in the castle, and all sorts of creatures are afoot, from werewolves to mummies. A group of seven slumbering knights slowly wakes up one by one to join in the fun. The sleek illustrations are a wonderfully muted palette of black, gray, white, and a pale sherbet. There's a lot going on in the pictures alone, never mind the clever text.

Praise
"Wheeler's rhythmic text is filled with taut rhymes, alliteration, and vivid images."
