Book description
Early Bird wants to be brave and protect the castle, just like Knight Owl. But she falls asleep on the job and then keeps her hero up during the day with her enthusiastic chattiness, well-meaning questions, and cheerful owl impersonations. But there are strange happenings in the forest, and soon Knight Owl and Early Bird find themselves in the throes of danger. Will these two learn to work together to keep themselves and the kingdom safe? Caldecott Honor winner and New York Times bestselling creator Christopher Denise delivers another endearing medieval tale that shines with warmth and goodwill, and shows just how important teamwork is to saving the day.Review#1 New York Times Bestseller A Caldecott Honor Award Winner An Indie Bestseller An Indie Next List Pick An ALSC Notable Book for Children A Barnes & Noble’s Best Children’s Book of the Year An Amazon Best Children’s Book of the Year An NPR Best Book of the Year A PW Gift Guide Selection A Good Housekeeping Best Kids' Book A Bookpage Best Picture Book of the Year A Washington Post Best Children's Book of the Year A Kirkus Best Book of the Year A Cybils Award Winner An Oklahoma Redbud Read-Aloud Award Winner A Junior Library Guild Selection Nominated for sixteen state awards "Denise gives youngsters an old-fashioned story with an amusing twist and a cute-as-a-button protagonist that charms on every level.
