Owls: Birds of the Night

by Emily Sollinger

Did you know that the biggest owl has a wingspan of five feet? That's big! The smallest owl is no bigger than an avocado. Filled with photographs and vivid illustrations, this book will teach you all about these beautiful birds.

Excerpt:
When the owlets are about one month old, they are ready to leave the nest.
At first, owlets hop from branch to branch.
They grab onto tree bark.
They wander around on the ground.
They practice flapping their wings.
Look!
They are flying!
The owlets are now called fledglings(say: FLEJ-lings).

Gendis is in a real owl phase. We enjoyed this and I even learned that owls don't build nests which is fascinating.

Good book with interesting information. It had a couple places where they wanted the reader to repeat words to get them right (like "nocturnal"). It was for a new reader.
