Boogie Knights by Lisa Wheeler
Illustrated by Mark Siegel. This is an engaging picture book about monsters pouring into a castle after midnight for the Madcap Monster Ball. The whimsical pictures accompany clever text such as "werewolves hustle, serpents samba, and wicked witches do the waltz." Meanwhile, the sleeping knights (brothers) who were snoozing start waking up one by one and go down to join the festivities. In the end, the knights close their "peepers" and dream of next year's monster's ball. Children will want to hear this title over and over again. It would be a terrific read aloud at Halloween. Grades K-2.

I second this nomination. It was a fun read and the words just roll off your tongue into the phrases. Kids will love it and beg you to read it again.
