Oldie but Goodie!

When a new copy of a book just sits and sits and sits on the shelf with students passing it by day after day it makes me want to read it.....just out of curiosity to see if it is a good book or not.



Owl and in the Shower gives the reader a glimpse of the environmental impact of humans and logging on the population of owls, but in a very easy and narrative way. Borden, the son of an out of work logger, sets out on a mission one day to kill an owl as a way to comfort his father over the loss of his father's job. A job that was halted because of the owls living in the area who are struggling from the loss of trees. Instead of killing an owl, Borden returns home with an owl which he wants to raise in his house. The owlet has a chance of surviving Borden's father if he can win his heart!
