My children, ages 6 and 7, were bored when I read this to them. It could have been a good story; it was missing something. ( )

Brief text, adventurous story ( )

Genre: Contemporary modern fantasy
Medium: watercolor, ink, colored pencils
This a story about a man that is sleeping. He awakes to snow falling, and an owl in his window. He chases after the owl, and ends up at the forgotten place called owl Ridge. This is a good example of contemporary modern fantasy, because a man couldn't chase an owl that far, and there isn't such a place as Owl Ridge. Although nothing about the story was strictly of the past or something of the future. I like this book because of the illustrations, and also because of the rhyming. I think students would enjoy the rhythm of the book, and it would be a fun one to read in winter when it's snowing.

This is a realistic fiction book. This bok is about a boy who is sleeping and a snow white owl comes and lands on his window seal and wakes him up. He then is curious about where it is going so he follows him outside and away into this forgotten place. There he fins hundreds of white owls all flying gracefully and happily. ( )

Realistic Fiction: This is a nice and easy read. It is about a little boy who was sleeping and he woke up to the stare of an owl as white as snow. He decides to follow the owl out into the snow and where the owl leads him is amazing.
