Owl Moon

Owl Moon by Jane Yolen is about a little boy who goes owl hunting at night with his father. The little boy is very excited to do this because he has never done it before and he has been waiting a long time. The father and son go walking through the woods, not making a sound. They hit a certain point and they stop walking and the dad calls for the owl. No owl comes. They continue walking deeper into the woods. They again stop and call for an owl. If you would like to know if they ever see an owl you will have to read the book.
    I think this is an amazing book. I really like the bond the father has with his son and they adventure they take together. The words in this book really bring it to life and make you feel like you are there with them looking for an owl. The pictures compliment the text well and together they make you feel like you are experiencing the story first hand. Children of either gender will enjoy reading this book because it is something they can relate to or find interesting. Most children spend time with their parents, grandparents, or other parental figures and this book will bring back memories of fun time they have shared with those people.
    This is a great book to read to students or that older, more advanced students can read on their own that will increase their motivation to read. The content of the book is simple enough for children to read and understand on their own. Young children will enjoy having this book read to them. This book would be a great book for read in the winter right before winter break. It will get students excited about the adventures they will have with their families during the break. This book is a great way to get children excited about reading.
