About This Book

A small owl dreams of becoming a knight, and despite being the smallest and least likely candidate, he trains hard and earns his place guarding the castle at night. When a real dragon threatens the kingdom, it's the little owl's unique nighttime abilities that save the day. Christopher Denise's richly detailed medieval illustrations are full of warmth and humor.

Why We Love This

The wordplay on "knight" and "night" is clever without being forced, and kids adore cheering for the little owl who proves that being different is actually a superpower.
