Owls – National Geographic Kids

            Owls do not all look alike.  In fact owls have many different habitats and ways of surviving.  Come explore this book to see what you thought you knew about owls and be surprised by new facts and insights into these extraordinary creatures.
            Laura Marsh has captured the beauty and magnificent of owls in this book filled with gorgeous photographs.  This is a level one reader so beginner readers will enjoy exploring this nature book on their own.  There are questions and answers that an adult could use as discussion starters for a shared reading time with a young child.
            The cover photo with the snowy owl flying towards the reader is an eye catcher.  Each photo inside is exquisite.  Each page gives information on a part of an owl’s life such as how mothers care for their young, ways of protection, wing span, types of talons, hunting skills, types of hoots, etc.  Photos are enhanced by boxed comments giving details to a specific part of the owl’s anatomy.

            This book is designed for the early reader but younger and older children will enjoy it for the photography.

I received this book free from the publishers in exchange for my honest review.
