Before I share my thoughts with you I wanted to let you know you should see the cover with blues and yellows. The Owl is wearing a knights uniform with a red scarf. You should see his eyes looking at the baby Bird who has a pack like a Hobo would carry thrown over his back. In the background we can see part of a Castle. I would have liked to visit. Would you like to go with me?

Early Bird ask so may questions Knight Owl can’t sleep. Which we find out is because Baby Bird is excited and wants to learn what Knight Owl does. Questions as we all know leads to knowledge. The funny part is some of the questions Baby Bird asked like what is your cape for” is questions I would have asked as well.
Knight Owl tells baby Bird he can’t teach him right now because he is to tired. Baby Birds finds things to keep herself busy all day long. That afternoon Knight Owl and Baby Bird went to work but before the Sun set and Baby Bird falls asleep.
The next morning Baby Bird tries to wake Knight Owl who rolls over and goes to sleep instead of going on a adventure with Baby Bird. Baby Birds stays busy and that night Owl keeps the castle safe. The next morning baby Bird once again tries to get Knight Owls attention.
