[2]I am going to tell you a secret that almost no one knows about me... I adore owls!!! Needless to say, I have at least one owl themed storytime a year. Luckily, many children's authors must also admire these wise little creature for there are several wonderful books in our system.
In case, you missed Family Storytime I thought that I would share a few of my favorite books with you.

Little Hoot [3]by Amy Krouse Rosenthal Little Hoot wants to go to bed early, like all of his friends do, and he is hopping mad when Mama and Papa owl insist that he stay up late and play.
Owl Moon [4] by Jane YolenOn a winter's night under a full moon, a father and daughter trek into the woods to see the Great Horned Owl.
Owl Babies [5] by Martin WaddellThree owl babies whose mother has gone out in the night try to stay calm while she is gone.
