Un libro superventas del New York Times y libro independiente más vendido
En esta emocionante secuela del superventas #1 del New York Times y clásico ganador de un Honor Caldecott, Caballero Búho entabla una amistad inesperada con una energética Pajarita Matutina, quien también quiere ser una valiente caballera.
 
“El ganador de un Honor Caldecott, el autor e ilustrador Christopher Denise, reproduce el valiente encanto de Caballero Búho, en una secuela donde Búho enfrenta a su enemigo más formidable hasta la fecha: Pajarita Matutina, su MAYOR admiradora”. —Shelf Awareness

 
Pajarita Matutina quiere ser valiente y proteger el castillo, igual que Caballero Búho. Sin embargo, se queda dormida en el trabajo y mantiene a su héroe despierto durante el día con su charla entusiasta, preguntas bien intencionadas y alegres imitaciones de búho. Pero hay algo extraño merodeando en el bosque y muy pronto Caballero Búho y Pajarita Matutina se encuentran en la boca del lobo, casi literalmente. ¿Aprenderán a trabajar en equipo para mantener el reino y a ellos mismos a salvo?
 
El ganador de un Honor Caldecott y autor superventas del New York Times Christopher Denise entrega otro adorable cuento medieval que brilla por su calidez y buenas intenciones, y demuestra lo importante que es el trabajo en equipo para ser héroes del día.

    * "Denise gives youngsters an old-fashioned story with an amusing twist and a cute-as-a-button protagonist that charms on every level. This will satisfy a wide range of readers, from Dragons Love Tacos fans to wannabe knights." —Booklist, starred review

    "It’s dangerous to label any picture book a 'contemporary classic,' but Knight Owl tempts you to try.... Sweet and epic by turns." —NPR

    "Adorably earnest and gallant…. A charming blend of whimsy and medieval heroism highlighting the triumph of brains over brawn." —Kirkus reviews

    "Through delicately conveyed firelight, deep shadows, and even an imagined tapestry, Denise (Groundhug Day) provides this cracking tale with illustrations that feel like fully fleshed animated classics as Owl’s actions subvert a traditional conflict story line."
