Reviews

[Theresa]

The last chapter is a huge list of phonetic owl calls and descriptive side notes such as "a bloodcurdling cry like a woman calling for help," "described as between a scream and a whistle...like the sound of a falling bomb" and, "uttering weird screeches." It was my favorite chapter

[Kiddo]

Nice mix of photos and illustrations. However, of the stack of owl books we checked out, this one did not capture kiddo's attention. Perhaps we'll read it at a later date.
