Gr 2-3-A colorful, factual look at raptors of the night, full of information tied specifically to the owls of North America. General facts on physiology, hunting tactics, digestion, habitats, and communication are offered, as is a section on mating, egg laying and incubation, and owlet development. A final page proffers further snippets on these birds. Gibbons's trademark watercolors provide lively renditions of a variety of these silent hunters. Not as species-specific or as detailed as Jean De Sart's handsome Birds of the Night (Charlesbridge, 1994) and slightly more informative than Jim Arnosky's excellent All about Owls (Scholastic, 1995), this is a bright addition to owl lore for younger readers.-Patricia Manning, formerly at Eastchester Public Library, NY Copyright 2005 Reed Business Information.
From the tiny elf owl to the great gray owl, award-winning narrator George Guidall enlivens this insightful exploration of these creatures of the night who live in North America.
