bookshelves: anthropomorphism, being-yourself, challenging-stereotypes, childrens-literature, dragons, foundation-stage, humour, key-stage-1, kindness, picturebook
Knight Owl by Christopher Denise is a sweet tale of bravery and cleverness, centred on an endearing young owl who dreams of becoming a knight. Despite his small size and gentle nature, Owl is determined to protect the castle, drawing on his wits and nocturnal instincts. When a mysterious intruder arrives on his watch, Owl must use all his courage to face the threat.

This story is filled with humour and a nice message about inner strength and resourcefulness. With its rich, sumptuous illustrations and a cute protagonist. A picturebook that celebrates the idea that true bravery comes from resilience, intelligence, and kindness. Written for young and old alike; I can see how this book earned a Caldecott Honor. ]]> Comment282834039 Thu, 07 Nov 2024 08:58:46 -0800 <![CDATA[Mathew commented on Zenzile's review of Grandad's Island]]> /review/show/6931298707 Zenzile's review of Grandad's Island
