Summary: Owls In The Family never fails to entertain my fifth graders
Review: Every year I read this book to my 5th graders andeveryone in the class loves it. It is my favorite book to read to start the year. I even have kids who go on to read "The Dog Who Wouldn't Be." The book is written in 1st person and the kids get really excited about owls because not only is it a story of the authors adventures with two owls, but it tells a lot of facts about owls and the northern praries.

Summary: Nostalgia
Review: I read this book back when I was 7 or 8 yrs old, and till this day it still brings wonderful feelings of nostalgia whenever I think of it. Every detail is still pretty fresh in my mind(I'm now 34) due to the authors brilliant attention to detail.

highly recommend it for kids of all ages...

Summary: It IS Farley Mowat's most hilarious book!
Review: If you're new to the writings of Farley Mowat, this book is a great place to start. You will love it. If you have kids, THEY will love it. Wol and Weeps, the two feathered protagonists, are two of the most lovable pets you'll ever read about in print. Wol especially steals the show when it comes to dealing with crows, dogs, skunks, and a really mean French teacher called Fifi.

Make no mistake, Owls in the Family is a family treasure that deserves to be read time and again. Pick it up without hesitation!

Summary: Owls in the Family
Review: Read Owls in the Family. It is a great book because it has lots of information about great horned owls. This book is about two boys, Bruce and Billy. They go on an adventure to find an owls nest. The boys end up getting two owls who become their best friends. The two owls Wol and Weeps become best friends. Billy's dog Mutt doesn't get along with Wol, but gets along with Weeps. Wol is always stealing Mutt's bone and he gets so annoyed. It's very exciting, funny, and an interesting book. Borrow it or buy it at your nearest bookstore.

Summary: Fantastic introduction to wildlife conservation for/by kids.
Review: This warm, poignant, funny book is a wonderful demonstration of how even ONE person can help wildlife in trouble. Even better to think that little boy grew up to be a world-class advocate of animal and eskimo rights. Farley Mowat is a treasure. Thank heaven the grade school teacher at a school in Temple, Texas assigned Owls as a class project. Thank heaven the only book left in the library was "Owls in the Family." Farley Mowat has brought great laughter and poignancy to my family and is spoken of as a friend. We always say -- "Want to read a wonderful book (author) read "Owls in the Family" (Farley Mowat) !!
