If you are granted three wishes, just be careful what you say! Fans of The Kiss that Missed and Good Knight, Sleep Tight will be delighted with this new adventure about the lovable knight and his trusty stead. After baby-sitting the royal Prince and Princess, the knight makes a heart-felt wish: ‘I would rather fly out of this window into a night of surprises than baby-sit tomorrow.’ Trip, slip and crash, out they fly! Magic gets a thorough mixing with the granting of three wishes…’I wish you hadn’t done that – oops!’ And how will they end this notoriously tricksy spell?

Melling has created another delightful read-aloud with all the ingredients for a good shared read. Humorous details abound in text and illustrations to amuse both child and adult, and there’s a satisfying conclusion to make us all chuckle.
