Owl Diaries – Eva’s Treetop Festival by Rebecca Elliott

Owl Diaries – Eva’s Treetop Festival
Rebecca Elliott
Illustrated by Rebecca Elliott
            Eva the owl longs to have an achievement of her own.  When she begins to plan the Treetop Festival her imagination goes wild.  She soon learns that organizing and planning such an event takes a united effort.  As she chooses which friends to include in the process she is surprised to discover that many of her friends have hidden talents.  But the biggest surprise is the reaction of her long-time nemesis Sue Clawson.  The story is written as Eva’s diary.  It begins with an introduction of Eva herself.  She includes her likes, dislikes, hobbies, favorite foods, and a description of her family and friends.  Eva’s diary then launches into the routine of her school day routine.  Eva has personality plus and she entertains us with her present day dilemma of pulling off the Treetop Festival in style.  The bubble notes above the owls’ heads and illustrations to highlight Eva’s diary add a realistic childlike quality to this book.

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