#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER â¢Â CALDECOTT HONOR AWARD WINNER ⢠USA TODAY BESTSELLER
A determined Owl builds strength and confidence in this medieval picture book about the real mettle of a hero: wits, humor, and heart.Â
Since the day he hatched, Owl dreamed of becoming a real knight. He may not be the biggest or the strongest, but his sharp nocturnal instincts can help protect the castle, especially since many knights have recently gone missing. While holding guard during Knight Night Watch, Owl is faced with the ultimate trialâa frightening intruder. Itâs a daunting duel by any measure. But what Owl lacks in size, he makes up for in good ideas.
Full of wordplay and optimism, this surprising display of bravery proves that cleverness (and friendship) can rule over brawn.Â
NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The Washington Post ⢠NPR ⢠Kirkus Reviews ⢠Bookpage ⢠Good Housekeeping
? "[A] story with an amusing twist and a cute-as-a-button protagonist that charms on every level. This will satisfy a wide range of readers, from Dragons Love Tacos fans to wannabe knights." âBooklist, starred review
"Itâs dangerous to label any picture book a 'contemporary classic,' but Knight Owl tempts you to try.... Sweet and epic by turns."?NPR
"Adorably earnest and gallantâ¦. A charming blend of whimsy and medieval heroism highlighting the triumph of brains over brawn."?Kirkus Reviews
"Through delicately conveyed firelight, deep shadows, and even an imagined tapestry, Christopher Denise provides this cracking tale with illustrations that feel like fully fleshed animated classics as Owlâs actions subvert a traditional conflict story line."?Publishers Weekly - HARPERCOLL
