Informational Nonfiction
This is a great informational book for young readers interested in learning about owls. The main text is large enough for children to read and just the right amount of text to give important details but keep it from getting overwhelming. The book talks about a general owl's body, overall facts about owls, their habits and lifestyles, and then goes more in depth about the mating-birthing-growth of a specific owl called the barn owl. Also, I love how at the end, it talks about owls in our world. How people have endangered owls, how they are protected, and how you can experience them today. Then the last page is some quick facts about different owls and where they are referenced in the human world. The pictures in this book appear to be watercolor of some sort but are very effective. The pictures are labeled and sometimes contain definitions of words used in the text. I would recommend this book to third-fifth graders who may be interested in the bird or who need research for some kind of project about owls. This is a great book that gets the important information out in a very easily understood fashion.
