Book Guide
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 trial—a frightening intruder. It’s 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.From the dust jacket

Reviews
Knight Owl
Reviewed by Janie Cheaney
In the face of grave danger, Knight Owl keeps his cool and uses brains over brawn to meet the challenge. Ordinary friendliness helps, too. Little knight-fanciers (and their parents) will be totally charmed by the gorgeously-detailed, medieval-themed artwork tinged with whimsey.

Reviewed by Regan McMahon
This glorious picture book has wonderful art and a positive message about avoiding conflict by finding common ground with someone who's supposed to be your enemy. There's also gentle humor and subtle wordplay.
Knight Owl
Reviewed by Sherry Early
For the legions of children who are enamored of knights and castles and fire-breathing dragons, this picture book would be a real treat. Or it might be an introduction to the world of knights and dragons, a tame and rather peaceful introduction. Owl does indeed make peace with the dragon, and no owls are harmed in the course of this story.
Knight Owl
A charming blend of whimsy and medieval heroism highlighting the triumph of brains over brawn.
