Heartwarming text, magical illustrations--a classic February 6, 1998
This is among our favorites, both on our bookshelf and as a gift for little friends. The text is heartwarming, the illustrations magical. Our son, now 3, begs to hear this night after night (one friend swore she read it every night for years), and it's wonderful for teaching children about owls and other night creatures (the pages are full of them). No daytime walk among trees now is complete without our son peering up into branches looking for a great horned owl.
Appeals to children and adults on many levels December 13, 1997
I have 3 children and have purchased and read literally hundreds of childrens books. This is one of my all time favorites. It will appeal to both the child and the adult reader as one seems able to relate to this story of a child with his father in the woods in many ways. The child-father relationship, appreciation and the mystery of nature, how simple things in life are what we remember and cherish,hope,love...its all there in this great little story. This book will invoke memories and emotions as you read it.
The perfect winter snuggler ! November 25, 1997
I love this award-winner so much, I bought an extra copy to preserve for my future grandchildren--and my eldest child is only 7 years old! The prose captures all the quiet and cold of a snowy moonlit night in rural New England, and yet radiates genuine warmth from the friendship between dad and child. Make a cup of hot chocolate and snuggle in to read this one.
Owl Moon October 19, 1997
You'll find yourself with a lump in your throat, as well as a voice that whispers, as you read this haunting story to your own special child. The sense of waiting and wonder are profound as the illustrations and text weave a spare, beautiful story.
