Owl Moon
By reading the title what do you think this book will be about?
A Great Horned Owl!
Owl Moon is based on a poem.Let’s read this owl poem before
we begin Jane Yolen’s book.Mr. Owl
I saw an owl up in a tree.
I looked at him, he looked at me,
I couldn’t tell you of his size.
For all I saw were tow big eyes;
As soon as I could make a dash,
Straight home I ran as quick as a flash!
