Owls are Awesome

Did you know there are approximately 200 species of owls in the world? Or that not all owls hoot--some hiss? And did you know that unlike other birds, owls can see the color blue? Check out more owl facts in these great books.

"Owls" by Melissa Gish. This one has great photographs and interesting side notes.

"Owls: Hunters of the Night" by Elaine Landau. I especially like the quick facts in the back of the book.


















And if you are looking for a great book for all ages, try "Little Hoot" by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. 

Little Hoot loves being an owl but he has a problem--all his friends get to go to bed early but not him. Parents will recognize the stalling techniques Mama and Papa Owl use to try to keep their little one awake.
