Owls in the Family

Would you want an owl for a pet? 


Julia (14): "Sure, why not" 

Gabe (12): "Nah, because I'd rather have a dog." 

Evy (9): "No, because it's not my favorite animal!" 

Daniel (7): "Yes! That would be awesome! It's my favorite animal!" 

Michael (7): "No!"


Mom's Notes: Daniel grabbed this book off of our shelf last Spring. He and I started reading it together, but summertime crowded it out. So we were both excited to read it for our first book this school year - especially as we are learning about all things birds! I even stuck it in my purse before our visit to the aviary, where we read a chapter next door to the Owl Forrest. Not only did owl-loving Daniel enjoy this book, but we were all thoroughly entertained by the antics of the boys, owls, dogs, and company! I'd love to read more books by Farley Mowat.
