All About Owls: Non-Fiction, Picture Book


All About Owls, written and illustrated by Jim Arnosky
Publisher: Scholastic, Inc.
Pages: 32
Genre: Non-Fiction, Picture Book
Rating: Thumbs Up!!
As we go through this text, we learn about 14 different kinds of Owls. This book presents information on the various calls of owls, what they eat, where they live, when they sleep, and even how they reproduce. Through all of the informative pages, the illustrations make the details come to life.
I enjoyed the full-sized owl model that was depicted on the first six pages of the book and the detailed pictures with labeling. The information was factual but non-intimidating for earlier readers. For these reasons, I rated this non-fiction work at a, "Thumbs Up!!"
