A wonderful, thoughtful book. June 26, 1999
I was really taken with this book. It provides the child with content seldom seen - adventure, nature, mastery of fear, parental love and support and respect for the animal world and the environment. The illustrations, especially the opening view of the farm and the valley, are beautifully done. The writing is perfect for a parent to read to the child and isn't condescending in tone. I recommend it highly.
A memorable walk in the woods. June 2, 1999
This beautiful children's book, about a young child, actually the daughter of the author, who goes on a night walk through the snow in the woods with her father to look for owls, was illustrated by John Schoenherr and it won the 1988 Caldecott Medal for best illustrations in a book for children. It is a gorgeous story and children will enjoy hearing it time and time again. They will also be more aware of the animal life that surrounds them.
Wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May 20, 1999
This book is about a father who takes his child owling for the first time and how special the child feels about being old enough to do such an outing with Dad. Jane Yolen captures the wonder of a night walk in the woods.
FINALLY, an accurate, inspiring, outdoor fun childrens' book May 12, 1999
I love this book...the first time I read it, I cried. I am an environmental educator and have used it several times in my owl programs. Adults love it just as much as children. It was a great introduction to owling for my 3 year old niece. I brought her out one night into the woods and we hooted for owls. Amazingly enough, "her friend, the owl" hooted back (her father was hiding in the woods!). The whole walk back through the dark and the snow, she kept looking up at me with utter adoration, telling me, "THANKS, Debbie!". This book will touch you.
My All Time Favorite November 13, 1998
OWL MOON is my favorite book... but I have to admit that I am far from unbiased. I am the little girl in this book, my father is "Pa" and my mother is Jane Yolen, the author. I have always loved this story, even before it was a book, because it is the story of my childhood with my real life bird watching father. Now, as a mother, it is even more special since I read it to my 3 year old daughter Maddison Jane. Last month, Maddison went, for the first time, into our back yard with my Dad and called to the owls with him. Thank you Mommy for writing this book. Thank you Daddy for teaching me about birds and all of nature. And thank you both for sharing this story with all readers.
