One ear is higher than the other on some owls. There are 19 kinds of owls in North America. Owls can be found on every continent except Antarctica. Owls hunt at night and eat rodents, frogs, insects and other birds. So the owl is able to turn its head almost all the way around. The owl cannot move its eyes around like we can. Other birds have eyes on the sides of the head.
Read it is a quiet, whispery voice to set the tone. It is a classic for a reason and deserves all five eggs.Winner of a Caldecott Medal, Owl Moon is a quiet inducing book! What does that mean? It’s the type of book that will calm your students and create a peacefulĪtmosphere in the classroom. But I cannot wait to break out my own copy from childhood.
We read very few picture books at the moment since she still finds them delicious. I give this classic five eggs, and I hope it continues to be loved by many families for years to come.Īriel’s Two Cents: I have yet to read Owl Moon with Bean. This book is seasonal, but not based on any holiday, so it’s a perfect choice for reading together while under piles of blankets all winter long. Every time I read this story to my daughter, I come away flooded in my own vivid memories of being in awe of nature in the wintertime. It teaches them that patience is necessary to see extraordinary things, and to appreciate the look of winter trees, and moonlight on snow.
If you’re looking to foster a love of nature in a child, this book is an excellent choice. Yolen deliberately did not give any indicators of gender in the text, to make it relatable to all children (a choice I wish she’d made in her How Do Dinosaurs books). In the dark, her snow clothes might be pink, but they look red. One thing that will make this book attractive to all, is that you cannot tell from the story or the pictures that the narrator is a little girl. The story is short, but conveys so much emotional and visual depth using all five sense to make you feel like you’re on this walk, too.
