Summary
Owly， the little owl with a heart of gold， returns for another forest adventure in this Eisner-winning series about friendship！
For Owly and Wormy， nothing beats the power of friendship！ But fear can be a powerful force， too。 There's a new visitor to the forest， an opossum who's misunderstood because of the way he looks。 Wormy is afraid of him， and when Owly tries to untangle him from a fence， Possey begins hissing and bares his sharp teeth！ He's scared and hurt， and now everyone is afraid！ Can the trio be brave and face their fears with just a little courage and a lot of friendship？
Through a unique blend of words and symbols， Owly can be read by the youngest readers， and is a great introduction to graphic novels！

A sweet story about overcoming fears and being open-minded about new people （well， animals） that you meet。 This is a great graphic novel for early readers as it has limited words， so it can bolster self-esteem and makes it easier for kiddos to understand the story。

Reading the Owly series has helped soften my heart toward the wild animals in my neighborhood。 It always piques my interest when Mrs。 Raccoon gets out her encyclopedia set， and I enjoyed learning about the playful opossum。 This volume shares a great story about overcoming fear to make new friends。

Volume four deals with different kinds of fear: imaginary monsters， new experiences， worry that things might hurt， and unfamiliar faces。 It is all overcome with kindness and understanding。 Adorably heart-rending。

A graphic novel with hardly any words。 Very innocent plot and adorable characters。 Lots of inferencing practice available。

After reading a spooky story to his little friend Wormy， Owly must assure his friend that there are no such things as monsters。 After going outside later to take his mind off of monster thoughts， they discover there is something in the woods; something that is not human nor animal。 It is in the hands of Owly to step up， be brave， and show his friend wormy what true friendship and heroism is all about！As a new reader to graphic novels， this was a great way to dive into this genre。 From the adorab After reading a spooky story to his little friend Wormy， Owly must assure his friend that there are no such things as monsters。 After going outside later to take his mind off of monster thoughts， they discover there is something in the woods; something that is not human nor animal。 It is in the hands of Owly to step up， be brave， and show his friend wormy what true friendship and heroism is all about！As a new reader to graphic novels， this was a great way to dive into this genre。 From the adorable characters to the surprisingly capturing story line， it was an enjoyable and easy-to-navigate graphic novel。 I would recommend this book to readers who are just getting started on graphic novel series。Other books I would connect this to would of course have to be the other books in the "Owly" series。 Each Owly book is another adventure with new characters introduced throughout each。 Another book would be the "Bad Kitty" graphic novels because of it's similar genre， humor， and animals as main characters。I would use this book as a mentor text for students just beginning to read graphic novels。 I would use text features such as dialogue， dialogue bubbles， print layout， and graphics as way to compare and contrast features of graphic novels to other novels we are more familiar with reading。 。。。more

I have a second-hand copy that once belonged to the Miami Dade library。Sooo， it's time for a new friend: a possum。 Too bad he's a bit different from Owly's other friends and no one wants to get closer to him。 Even if he just wants to play ball with the others。 Jeez， I suddenly wants a possum in my garden。A tad less sad than the previous installment but still as sweet。Thanks GR， I wouldn't have read it if it wasn't for your recommendation。 I have a second-hand copy that once belonged to the Miami Dade library。Sooo， it's time for a new friend: a possum。 Too bad he's a bit different from Owly's other friends and no one wants to get closer to him。 Even if he just wants to play ball with the others。 Jeez， I suddenly wants a possum in my garden。A tad less sad than the previous installment but still as sweet。Thanks GR， I wouldn't have read it if it wasn't for your recommendation。 。。。more

Wormy’s imagination gets the better of him， and after being read a story about dragons， he sees dragons everywhere。 But with the help of his friends and some factual information， he soon realizes the danger is only in his own mind。 In fact， he becomes so brave， that when another creature is trouble， he is the first to respond。 This all-ages graphic novel does indeed have something that will appeal to all ages as well as a lesson to ponder。

Not really a review since the blurb pretty much sums out what the cute comic is about。Just trying to post a charm inspired by a picture on page 38。•Before coloring: •After coloring: •Before cooking: •After cooking: Not really a review since the blurb pretty much sums out what the cute comic is about。Just trying to post a charm inspired by a picture on page 38。•Before coloring: •After coloring: •Before cooking: •After cooking: 。。。more

This is just one book in the Owly series。 With very few words this graphic novel tells the story of Owly and his friends discovering a new animal in the forest。 They are afraid he might be a monster at first， but eventually he becomes another friend。 Personally， I had a hard time figuring out what was going on by the pictures alone。 The black and white graphics are difficult to decipher always and I wasn't always sure what the characters dialogue was supposed to have been。 This graphic novel is This is just one book in the Owly series。 With very few words this graphic novel tells the story of Owly and his friends discovering a new animal in the forest。 They are afraid he might be a monster at first， but eventually he becomes another friend。 Personally， I had a hard time figuring out what was going on by the pictures alone。 The black and white graphics are difficult to decipher always and I wasn't always sure what the characters dialogue was supposed to have been。 This graphic novel is meant for students in grades 2 through 4。 。。。more
