Owl Moon is the tale of a grandpa and grand daughter going owling. They have to be quiet in the middle of the night so the owl will not hear them. When they almost give up on spotting an owl, one shows up. They stare at each other for over a minute and it flies away. The family is happy and head back to the warm home.
This is a very cute tale of the families tradition of owling. The realistic artwork throughout is beautiful and really captures the mood of the story. I read this story as a child and it has a certain comfort factor for me. The story is very peaceful and gentle and is a great bedtime story to read when you are warm in your bed.
