The pictures are amazing and they have a page for many of the different owls. Each picture is filled with detail and the author gives lots of information. If you have a research project due on owls this is the book to get.

This is a great, easy to understand, thorough book on North American Owls. I have worked rehabilitating owls and in doing educational programs with non-releaseable owls for five years. I'm using this book as an educational tool, I have bought copies to share with other wildlife rehabilitators. If you love owls and want to learn more about them, this is a great source of knowledge, the art work is beautiful the text covers just about everything that a person could think to ask.

This is probly the best non-fiction book I've ever read. it's packed with information and the illustraitions are beautiful. In the back of the book, there's a "glossary of owls" with short essays of a few types of owls, containing their size, call, latin name, what they eat, etc. This book is definitly a must-have.

This book was my first "owl book", and I really enjoyed it, from cover to cover. It is a very short read, and a very good one. I have since read other books on owls, and it is clear that Helen Sattler's book is a very well-written and well-researched book in which a lot of good information is put into a relatively short treatise on the subject of owls. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in owls, including older children. The writing alone is excellent.

I bought this book to supplement a 5th grade science unit on owls, & was not disappointed. It is filled with content,details, also wonderful illustrations that are both beautiful & informative. The book creates even more interest in owls, & makes a great daily read aloud or addition to upper elementary/middle school classroom library. My students enjoy this book very much.
