The fourth and smallest one has doubts about what he is capable of. But he believes he will fly and keeps trying day and night. This is put to the test when a wind storm comes he is forced to fly. This is a good fantasy book because it teaches kids to never give up and to always keep trying. And the author does this by making owls look like humans to draw kids in. In this book the owls are talking to each other which in real life cannot happen,and that is why I think it is a good fantasy. Age appropriateness: Early Elementary Review: This book is a good example of modern fantasy. The setting (the forest in a nest) is realistic because they really exist, however it has a touch of unreality (owls being able to talk). The animals are personified because they are able to see differences between each other and communicate like humans. This story reveals a moral (you can do things no matter what your size) that is easy for kids to understand. Plot: The plot of the story is a very good one. It introduces the characters and a problem is presented (the littlest owl is very small, and cannot fly), however a problem presents itself (need to fly in order to survive the windstorm) and then the problem is resolved (he tells himself he can fly, and so he does).

Four, the youngest and smallest owlet of his brood, has a positive attitude that gets him through most challenges of life in a nest, but it may not be enough when a storm threatens his treetop home before he has learned to fly. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Personally I could relate to this book because I remember as a child wondering if my little brother would catch up to his friends. He was always smaller and slightly behind the curve. As he grew so did his abilities and eventually he caught up and surpassed a lot of his friends. I think this book teaches the readers an important lesson in not giving up if at first you don’t succeed.
Perseverance is something I feel today’s youth lacks on; therefore, I feel like this book would be a good way to introduce this topic. I think there would be a good art project that could be done through this. In one class I took the teacher asked us to trace our hand and fill it with things that represent us. I think this could be applied here by having the children fill the hand with things that they want to achieve, thus giving them a time to reflect on this concept. Another way in which we could incorporate this book in to the classroom would be to do a lesson on descriptive words. This book is full of words describing the owls, nature, and disposition. I think this would be a good way to ask students to pick out the words used to describe the owls, maybe through a work sheet or on the board.
Overall, I found this book to be very cute and easy to read. It had a clear them about nature and the process from egg to adult owl and introduced different idea about the struggles we all go through. The theme was carried out from the beginning to the end. Great book!
