This was the first Owly book I've read. I love the fact that it uses very few words and allows for your imagination to fill in the rest. The message of acceptance is amazing and I wish everyone could be as giving and accepting as Owly. Definitely a new favourite series and one that I will be passing on!

Owly is a great graphic novel with no words but the expressions that the characters make you can understand what is going on. The author does a good job at incorporating heavy themes such as acceptance.

Very sweet wordless tale that seems perfect for all sorts of applications at school for the kids who can't speak the language very well yet. It doesn't have very high entrance requirements and I like books that don't, that welcome all readers. Perfect for class libraries even for older kids.

Owly's back, as adorable as ever. This volume is a little harder to follow than previous stories, if only because Runton is presenting more complicated ideas in his pictorial speech. It's hard to get across "You put up this cage and now I'm stuck and can't get what I want and I'm hurt so I'm mad at you" when you don't have any text to work with.
Even more than the friend-positive, help-others-even-if-they're-mean-to-you message, this book is about cute. Really, really cute. I mean it. Runton may as well give up on telling stories and just draw his forest animals over and over, and I'd still buy his books for the sheer joy of seeing Owly, Wormy, and the rest of the crew.

Another new friend to add to the mix; things start out a little rocky as usual, with Owly again having to overcome the misconceptions and prejudices aimed at him for being an owl. But Wormy also needs to overcome his fear of the unknown.

Summary: Owly and his friends learn about an Opossum, and that he's just as scared of them as they are of him.
Review: A sweet story about understanding and of course bravery. Though there are no words, it takes familiarity with story structure and at least punctuation to grasp the story line.
Postive review from Book Links, with reccomendations for being used by a teaching tool. Teacher Librarian calls this episode of Owly,"touching and sincere as always.
