Barn Owl

This is an excellent book to read aloud and share with your class. I teach 5th grade and I read it every year for a great description of food chains. This year I purchased additional copies so that each student had their own copy to use and build their own food chain.

Owl's and the Web of Life

A beautifully illustrated non-fiction story of the owl's life as we learn about his ways of feeding, where he lives, finding a mate, and exists during the different seasons of the year. I used this as a part of an integrated science lesson. The idea for this lesson is from "Picture Perfect Science" which is an excellent resource using books such as this one to teach elementary science. Barn Owl (Animal Lives)

Great first book about owls

The barn owl is certainly a unique species, and is an excellent subject for a book meant to introduce young children to the world of owls, and birds in general. The illustrations are excellent, and the text for the most part is easy to read. The occasional advanced word is encountered, but this is hardly a problem. Overall, an excellent book.
