Owlie Learns to Fly by Meaghan Fisher is the cute story of little Owlie who is a bit nervous about learning to fly. His brothers and sisters are excited, but Owlie is apprehensive about going on his first flight. Owlie hears from his brother how beautiful the moon looks and he wants to see the moon. Owlie is the last one left. His brothers and sisters have flown and are sitting on another tree branch. Will Owlie be courageous and go on his first flight to join his brothers and sisters?
This story is both charming and adorable. The owls are lovable and they look cute in the pictures which are full of color and life. They give clarity to the tale and a personality to the owls. The night sky, stars, moon and the tree are all enchanting for kids to look at while going through the story. It is heart warming to see the Mother Owl gently push Owlie to fly by giving him confidence. Parents and grandparents can use it as a lovely bedtime story book for their kids and grandkids. It is a good story to use for read aloud sessions in classrooms and libraries.
Children will love Owlie, just like I did. Nothing is impossible if you set your mind to it. Owlie's desire to see the moon and the thought that flying is not that difficult are motivational to young readers. Cute stories like these will find their way into the hearts of readers.
