Yolen, J., Schoenherr, J., Stevenson, N., Egolf, R. L., Philomel Books., South China Printing Company., & Dr. Robert L. Egolf Collection. (1987). Owl moon. New York: Philomel Books.
This is a sweet little book that reminds me of my childhood. My mother used to read to us from her old Childcraft books, and the poetry section was popular. The illustrations in this book reminded me of "The Highwayman". Owls are big in our family too; I got an owl necklace for Mother's Day. I used to love to sneak out at night and ride my horse in the moonlight. The author does a nice job capturing that moment of an owl looking at you, and a child's wonder at that. I also like that you can't tell if the child telling the story is a boy or a girl.
