This preschool picture book is another installment in the Mustache Baby series which started in 2013.  Two babies, one sporting a mustache and the other a mustache and beard, interpret an evening sleepover and take a trip to the public library through the lens of pretending to be knights.  Each sibling interruption, bedtime routine and playtime in the library are seen as troll interference, castles to scale and a festival where the knights of the round table meet to plan a rebellion.  The text provides the babies imaginative play while the illustrations provide the reality.  According to the synopsis of the first book, the mustache is real which may or may not confuse readers.  The story is tongue in cheek with parents being the potential audience.  The illustrations provide a welcomed view of library activity.
