This is a book full of information on all kinds of owls. It discusses where they live, their eyes, what they eat, and their young.
The illistrations in this book is breathtaking. They keep you drawn into the book. I enjoyed this book because we used to have barn owls stay in our shed when I was
This would be a great book to share with students who are interested in birds. The book also offers a few craft ideas for students.

This book does not cover everything about owls but it does talk about the skull structure, pupils, the third eyelid, and the head swivel that allows owls to look behind them and the care of their young.

Like all of Arnosky's books, this one is beautiful with gorgeous watercolors, and vivid text. He also gives lots of details both in text and pictures, and little-known interesting facts about a variety of owl species. I like his questions on the lead page.

Prolific children's author and artist Jim Arnosky turns to the world of strigine wildlife in this engaging work of picture-book natural history, the second in his "All About..." series highlighting different kinds of animals. Here the child readers can learn all about owls, from their basic biology
Like its predecessor, All About Alligators, I found All About Owls to be quite informative - I didn't know, for instance that it was illegal throughout North America to harm owls, given their role in reducing the rodent population - and I appreciated the lovely artwork. Owls are such mysterious and beautiful creatures, that I ended up enjoying this one more than the book about alligators, although I think they are equally well done, when judged objectively. My only criticism here, and it is the same one I had with the earlier book, is that there is no list of sources or further reading material. Recommended to young animal lovers and ecologists, from around four to eight years old.
