Since the day he hatched, Owl dreamed of becoming a real knight. A determined Owl builds strength and confidence in this medieval picture book about the real mettle of a hero: wits, humor, and heart. The story ends with two new friends sharing a pizza and swapping stories - and the mysterious disappearances of knights has suddenly stopped. Signed on bookplate by Christopher Denise. Until one night he hears a strange whooshing sound.Ī large ominous shadow falls over the castle and an enormous, and hungry, dragon appears in front of Owl! As a real knight, Owl knows he has to be brave, so he puffs up his chest and negotiates with the dragon, finally coming to a satisfying arrangement. Other knights usually fell asleep during these long shifts, but Owl is very good at it. Taking advantage of this staffing shortage, Owl applies to Knight School and to everyone's surprise, he is accepted! He studies and works hard - even a small shield is tough for him to hold - and after graduating with honor, he is assigned to the Knight Night Watch. All young Owl has ever hoped and dreamed of is becoming a knight, but it was just a dream until suddenly knights begin disappearing from the castle. KNIGHT OWL Written and illustrated by Christopher Denise In his first solo outing, Denise matches stellar deadpan wordplay with an Old Masters-style chiaroscuro technique that’s pure.
