 A WONDERFUL STARTER BOOK. November 25, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
This is a great book to introduce children to these wonderful crestures. The illustrations are beautiful and very, very detailed. The text is very informal, interesting and readable. I like using this one in introduction lectures. The book leaves plenty of room for open discussion and truely gives the children incentive to learn more. As a matter of fact. this is not a bad book to introduce adults to owls along with the young one. Highly recommend this one.
 Good introduction to owls September 18, 2005
Owls: Whoo are they? is a very good introductory book for young children on the fascinating subject of owls. The book covers all aspects of owl behaviour and discusses its various unique characteristics. It also touches on the owl in mythology and its conservation. The text is well written and introduces a number of key terms. In terms of the illustrations, I hate to say it, but I wasn't overly impressed. Overall, though, I did like this book.
from a biologist perspective July 15, 2003

I am a spotted owl biologist, and I just ran into this book at a gift shop. I bought one for myself, my nephew, my friends children,. . .etc. It is really great, not only for kids. It doesn't dumb down the science (using crepuscular and other words, with a glossary in back), and the pictures are well done.It's a wonderful book!
