Features & Highlights

  • The haunting sound of its distant hoot may be as close as many of us ever get to an owl. But of the roughly 200 owl species worldwide, 19 make their homes across North America. These birds of prey display noticeable differences in size and markings, but they also share many physical traits and living skills.
  • How do owls capture prey and defend themselves? How are their wings designed for silent, gliding flight? How do owls conceal themselves from predators? Young readers will learn the answers to these questions and much more in the beautifully illustrated
  • Exploring the World of Owls

Perfect for my son's school project.

My son completed a project on owls and used MS Powerpoint. His presentation was terric but most of his research came from these owl books on Amazon. Much better than internet.

Really spectacular photos. Granddaughter loves owls. She's 6 and it's not too complex.

I liked everything about it. Beautiful pictures, good, concise descriptions. Not too complex for my 6 year old granddaughter, who loves owls. But also, neat enough for any adult for reference.

Not worth this money

It was a disappointment. Did not know it is only a couple of pages. I read the whole thing in 5 minutes. With shipping I paid over $ 13 . Not worth this money.
