Knight Lights® Vol.
2 - "The Biggest, Bounciest Reviewed by: Molly Martin, Scribes World (www.scribesworld.com) 4.5 stars “A disclaimer on the front page sets the tone for the work: ‘Book may contain funny, silly and nonsensical information and may be inappropriate for bumps on a log.’” “With Chapter headings reading ‘Dragon Fleas,’ ‘Bathe The Beasts,’ ‘It’s Like Giving a Cat a Bath,’ and ‘Congratulations! It’s One Hundred Boys and Girls!!!’ the children’s eyes brightened, and lips curved into smiles, whenever we met for ‘reading rug.’ The class expressed interest, consideration and total attention for the ‘Rhyme-o-meter’ sprinkled throughout. Language used for ‘Rhyme-o-meter’ time is just gross enough to pique the interest of the kids. Boys snickered and poked one another, girls feigned horror. Middle grades ARE the days of glop and glorp. During class discussion after chapter reading, the children indicated they liked the story line, the illustrations and the rhyming.” ” The target audience for the Knight Lights Vol. 2: The Biggest Bounciest Battle Ever is the 8 – 11 year old group. My class of 9 – 10 year-olds enjoyed the book and read it for pleasure during ‘free choice reading’ times. The kids liked the sense of the writer ‘talking right to me’ during the story. They also liked the scientific factstossed in here and there.” “Knight Lights Vol. 2: The Biggest Bounciest Battle Ever is a good choice for children’s personal reading, the school and classroom library and the home school reading curriculum.” Knight Lights® Vol.
2 - "The Biggest, Bounciest Reviewed by: Denise Daley, Children’s Literature (www.childrenslit.com) “The black-and-white drawings that accompany the text are hilarious. The story line frequently moves back and forth between past and present.” “Many readers will enjoy this book, particularly those that are easily amused by normal bodily functions.” Knight Lights® Vol.
2 - "The Biggest, Bounciest Reviewed: August 2006 – The Reading Tub (www.thereadingtub.com) “Pros: The book is written with rhyme and tongue-in-cheek humor, with short sentences and lots of pictures. The short sentences and fast-paced story will appeal to those who “have” to read but don’t want to . . . and improve their vocabulary without them knowing it!” “Kids (especially boys) will likely enjoy the pace and adventure. Those helping struggling middle-readers should give this series serious consideration.” “Kids who are interested in graphic novels, though, may find this a nice primer for format and style.” “Type of Reading: bedtime story,
family reading, anytime reading, read aloud book, advanced
reader.” Knight Lights® Vol.
2 - "The Biggest, Bounciest Review By Christina Lewis - Kidsbookshelf "A Knight Light is a miniature knight in shining armor who patrols by the light of a sword or shield from dark till dawn." The four brave knights are back again, and this time the Lindenberry pets are acting very strange. Can the knights figure out what's bothering the pets and rid the home of some pesky little critters?

2 - "The Biggest, Bounciest Reviewed by: Midwest Book Review Written and illustrated by Ed Baker, the Knight Lights series are chapter books for young people that blend text and whimsically scribbled black-and-white illustration on each page, making them as easy-to-read as comic books. The Knight Lights themselves are miniature knights in shining armor who patrol by the Light of a sword or shield from dark to dawn, watching over and protecting all who sleep. Knight Lights Volume 1: Magnabumble's Big Bumble follows the courageous, well-intentioned, yet unfortunately mistake-prone Magnabumble as he gets caught in another jam; his friends Ironheart, Lionpenny, and Stilton must band together to save the night. In Knight Lights Volume 2: The Biggest Bounciest Battle Ever things are going bounce in the night, and the Knights work together to find out why! Both are highly enjoyable blends of fantasy, humor, and pure silliness, recommended especially for young readers ages 7-10.
