(hb; 2022: children’s picture book)
From the inside flap
“Since the day he hatched, Owl
dreamed of becoming a real knight. He may not be the biggest or the strongest,
but his sharp nocturnal instincts can help protect the castle, especially since
many knights have recently gone missing. While holding guard during Knight
Night Watch, Owl is faced with the ultimate trial—a frightening intruder. It’s
a daunting duel by any measure. . .”
Review
Knight is a delightful children’s picture book, with excellent illustrations and a fun twist at the end—while it would’ve been especially nice for Denise to visually foreshadow that twist (something he could’ve easily done)*, Knight (still) works, making for a good read. Worth checking out.
(*I understand and respect that most readers, especially children, won’t care about foreshadowing in a children’s picture book. That said, for some of us who write, edit, etc. text, it’s something worth noting.)
