Finally, here are some well-loved owl stories for primary grades, and some links to online resources for using these books.
OWLS by Gail Gibbons (nonfiction), OWL MOON by Jane Yolen (multigenre), and OWL AT HOME by Arnold Lobel (beginning reader, animal fiction) Here are three wonderful books to read to children, and many young children will be able to read OWL AT HOME as it is a beginning reader.
OWLS by Gail Gibbons, as always, provides a nonfiction read aloud full of true facts. Many children actually like nonfiction more than fiction, so be sure to try books by Gail Gibbons for these children. OWL MOON is the story of a father and daughter who walk in the night to go owling with flashlights. The moon is bright and the setting is actually in winter. The illustrations are from the point of view of the owl. Says the girl, “I was a shadow as we walked home.” Children may want to try owling sometime, and spring is a good time before all the bugs are out in full force.
OWL AT HOME has five stories about the antics of OWL: The Guest, Strange Bumps, Tear-Water Tea, Upstairs and Downstairs, and Owl and the Moon. These stories are fun to read, short, and the vocabulary is intended for beginning readers. Owl investigates bumps in the night, runs upstairs and downstairs and finds he cannot be in two places at once and befriends the moon in some of these stories. It is easy to see why children find the stories amusing. FREE Teaching Resources PDF page for Gail Gibbons for a year-long curriculum with her books (amazing!)
