"Owl was an excellent student.
But he had a tough
time with a sword.
Even the smallest shield
was a problem.
And he had a habit of nodding
off during the day."
Owl only had one wish - he wanted to be a knight! He dreamt the same dream every morning before he settled in for a day's sleep. He could imagine what it would be like; but, it was simply a dream. Until it wasn't.
There came a day when few knights could be found in the castle. This was his chance. Owl applied and was accepted for training as a knight. What a marvelous thing! The training was not without its complications. However, hard work paid off and soon his long-held dream came to fruition. What an honor!
Knight Night Watch was the perfect assignment. While other knights slept, Owl kept watch in their place. He was so proud. On one dark and quiet night, he heard a strange sound. Within minutes, Owl was faced with his first invader. His brave and clever countenance seemed to be ineffective - until he happened upon the perfect solution to assuage the intruder's hunger. Can you guess what it might be? I will bet that you cannot.
The detailed artwork is quite wonderful. Young readers will find much to discover as they pore over the pages. The dark of the night watch and the appearance of the hungry raider requires quite the act of bravado.
