It is perfectly suited for young nature lovers who are ready for more detailed information but still appreciate a story-like presentation.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book directly addresses the predator/prey relationship. It describes the owl hunting, killing, and eating other animals, including mice and rabbits. This is presented in a secular, matter-of-fact way as a necessary part of survival in nature. The descriptions are not graphic or gory, but they are clear. The resolution is the continuation of the life cycle, which is a hopeful, naturalistic outcome.
Ideal Reader
This book is perfect for an inquisitive 6 to 8 year old who has a budding interest in biology or ornithology. They are past simple animal identification books and are now asking complex "how" and "why" questions about animal behavior. This reader appreciates beautiful illustrations and enjoys learning detailed facts presented in a compelling, non-textbook format.
