This is Owl

This is Owl, but before we begin you may want to turn off the sun and draw in the moon. Thereafter, it seems that Owl needs a little help in closing in on a beetle on his twig. Let’s tilt the book, but carefully! What will happen if we can’t find Owl? Maybe other birds will arrive who assume they’re Owl?

What if there’s another Owl and our Owl is engaged in something with which he needs help? Can you fetch some twigs? What might Owl and other Owl be hiding? It cannot be….

This is Owl is absolutely engrossing. Libby Walden and Jacqui Lee have created a perfect storybook for sharing, laughing over, wondering upon and cherishing. Through inviting readers to engage, and further, by building a sequenced story around Owl, we are completely invested. There is such originality and delight in the varying page sizes, disappearance of Owl, appearance of new curious characters, and our need to  participate. Bookwagon loves this book and recommends it highly to our youngest readers and their families.
