 Barn Owl March 26, 2008
This is an excellent book to read aloud and share with your class. I teach 5th grade and I read it every year for a great description of
food chains. This year I purchased additional copies so that each student had their own copy to use and build their own food chain.
Owl's and the Web of Life September 16, 2007
A beautifully illustrated non-fiction story of the owl's life as we learn about his ways of feeding, where he lives, finding a mate, and exists during the different seasons of the year. I used this as a part of an integrated science lesson. The idea for this lesson is from "Picture Perfect Science" which is an excellent resource using books such as this one to teach elementary science.
Barn Owl (Animal Lives)
Great first book about owls September 8, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
The barn owl is certainly a unique species, and is an excellent subject for a book meant to introduce young children to the world of owls, and birds in general. The illustrations are excellent, and the text for the most part is easy to read. The occasional advanced word is encountered, but this is hardly a problem. Overall, an excellent book.
 A picturebook with factual information. September 22, 2000
10 out of 12 found this review helpful
Animal Lives: The Barn Owl is a picturebook with factual data, a genre I am generally pleased with. Given the picturebook format, I felt that some of the vocabulary choices would be very difficult for younger or struggling readers, i.e. superefficient sense of hearing, perilous flight. That said, the information about barn owls is well presented and researched, the illustrations are accurate and well-done, and the book includes resources and information about conservation. The author follows one barn owl pair as they raise their first brood of young-from courtship to leaving the nest. A nice insight into the lives of the owls.
