Description
Poor Charlie is a young knight who can't find a single beast to slay. If only the town of Little Import weren't so quiet. Hark! What is that? It's Mr. Galette, and he has a problem in his bakery. Clever Charlie realizes at once that a monster is the culprit: the triple-tier hungerbeak! So begins an epic quest to capture monsters throughout town and find a safe place for them to live . . . in the world's very first monster sanctuary!
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"Tongue-in-cheek and not at all of little import." --Kirkus Reviews

"[A] playfully interactive story that suggests the grass isn't always greener somewhere else." --Publishers Weekly

"Batsel's artwork is a mesmerizing display of extraordinary mixed-media collage using a variety of handmade and purchased paper alongside paints, ink, watercolors, embroidery floss, artificial turf, and painted sawdust. Every page, down to the endpapers, is textured, rich, layered, and lovely. Batsel's second book as author-illustrator is quite the achievement."-- starred, Booklist

"For her collages, Batsel (A Is for Another Rabbit) works with a sweepingly wide range of unfussy materials, including thread, sawdust, and artificial turf--selections true to the spirit of this tale of resourcefulness, improvisation, and pluck. Although the author isn't so artless as to say so, The Knight of Little Import delivers the message that a good imagination is more rewarding than all the money in Biggerborough." --Shelf Awareness
