Review
"*"The best information books are so interesting that they make you want to find out more. The Read and Wonder books do just that." Margaret Meek, Institute of Education"
Product Description
The little girl in this book has never seen a barn owl, but when her grandpa puts a nest-box high in the old oak tree, they wait and they wait until one spring night, just as the sky goes pink, a pale face looks out of it, then takes off towards them.

A brilliant read for children and adults, the book reads well and is not only a story but gives information about owls too, therefore teaching the child as well.
definately recommend to friends !!

I bought this book along with another Nicola Davis book (Bat Loves the Night, which I have also reviewed) for the children in my Year 1 and 2 class. They loved it and as well as helping them with their science they also gained literacy skills when it came to writing non-fiction reports. Would highly recommend it.

The book has a great cover of a white barn owl and the inside is packed out with a whole load of barn owl facts that would be new to most adults nevermind children.
The book can be read by just reading the main story about a child whose dad builds an owl nest-box and they wait for it to be occupied.
The facts running alonside the main story are themselves informative but they can be a bit gorey as they explain all about pelletts - mouse skulls that are not digested. You may want to skip those facts!
Interesting for owl enthusiasts, but not the best childrens book.
