This is an adorable story about an owl who wishes to be a knight. They get their chance when knights start disappearing, and everyone is surprised when owl is chosen. But it turns out owl is perfect for the job. This book is very adorable, and kids are going to love it. As an adult I am fascinated by the illustrations and would want any of them as artwork for my walls.

batsy I loved this! The art was so good. 6mo

“And he had a habit of nodding off during the day.“

This story has a cute pun to it. Being a “night owl“ the owl becomes a “knight“. I think this story can be super sweet to read to students and learn more about them, whether they are night owls or not. While the students get to learn about each other.

“They talked about how each of them had hatched from eggs, how much they liked the night, and how flying was hard to explain to someone who had never done it before“.

I enjoyed reading this book, this would be a fun read in a classroom. Although the story may seem simple, you could go in depth on each page and explore other meanings.

Knight Owl was a 2023 Caldecott honor. This book is about an owl who wants to become a knight and finds the perfect opportunity to lead the night watch. This is a fun story about bravery and belonging. The illustrations fit the story well and represent who the owl is feeling.

Caldecott Honors:
Knight Owl is the story of Owl living out his dream: becoming a Knight. Although Owl is not as big or strong as the other knights, he proves that if you set your mind to something, and are clever and kind, you can do anything.
This book is a great tool for letting students know that anyone can be anything they set their mind to.
“It was very dark and very, very quiet. But Owl didn‘t mind, because he was brave, he was clever.”

This delightful picture book tells the tale of a medieval-era owlet who dreams of becoming a knight. He is accepted into knight school, is an outstanding student (of course), and begins to serve in the Knight Night Watch. But one night the biggest test in the little owl's life arrives. Can this adorable lil guy prevail with ingenuity and an instinctive sense of fellowship? Oh god, this was so cute. Sweet, heartwarming, and beautifully illustrated.

In this children‘s historical fantasy picture book, a small but plucky owl realizes his dream and becomes a knight. There‘s plenty of foreshadowing—dragon imagery is on almost every page—until Owl comes face to face with a massive dragon. Funny, sweet and inspiring. A Caldecott Honor recognizes the charming art, which rewards careful examination to find jokes and surprises. #kidlit

Texreader Looks downright adorable 1y

Knight School was hard, but Owl worked and worked. He graduated with honor, as all knights do.

Can you see what mom is making for dinner? The dead mice on the trencher make up for the gender stereotypes in this illustration. I loved the book, don't get me wrong. Owl is clever and adorable.

MuddyPuddle Will we find out Monday that it was honored with a Caldecott, do you think? 1y
mandarchy @MuddyPuddle That would be really cool. The illustrations are really wonderful. The pizza made me hungry. It's almost a gazing book, there are a ton of look-closelies. Just in this image you can read clues on dad's newspaper. It is making me go back and find other books by Denise.

5⭐ I mean, look at that brave little owl! Can it get any cuter? I really loved this little book about bravery, finding common ground, and following your dreams. The illustrations are unbelievably cute and luscious, and the story is quite fun. And, as a player of D&D that is currently playing a small-size, cleric owlin, I just had to get it.

A cute, heartwarming tale about a clever little owl with big dreams who's becomes the hero through kindness and cleverness. We loved this one! He has always dreamed of being a real knight, his first chance to defend the castle is by doing a Knight Night Shift, since he's nocturnal he will stay awake. When the intruder comes he defeats him with a good idea and friendliness. Turning a foe into a new friend! Available March 15th! #kidsbookreview
