Owls

Backyard Wildlife

by Kari Schuetz

An owl has large eyes that work like a pair of binoculars. This, combined with excellent night vision and a rotating head, makes this raptor a skilled hunter. Beginning readers will have a hoot as they read about the unusual features of this bird of prey!

Great pictures with awesome facts

I learned that owls cannot move their eyes and that they can hear ten times better than people.

Owls can see far away.

Loved the bold photographs and clear text features, but found myself wishing for a book that combined this one with Gail Gibbons' "Owls". For my younger readers, I focused in elements on non-fiction, but judiciously editorialized to fill in some blanks that my kids wanted to know about. With my older kids, I found that the pictures were great to use, again, paired with the Gibbons book.
