Angry Owl is cross about the weather. As he sits shivering in the rain on the branch of a tree, he watches as a huge storms brews, bringing with it wind, thunder, snow, hail and even a tornado. But before long, Angry Owl realises that he needn’t be unhappy because something special happens. Find out what it is ...

As it’s such a hot day, Angry Owl has decided to go for a swim, but in his usual way (as we already saw in Angry Owl), he’s determined that it should be the greatest swimming day ever. However, things don’t always go according to plan and, with some humorous situations along the way, he has to learn a few lessons before he has a wonderful day. Kerryn Ponter’s charming and witty illustrations bring the story to life.

"One morning our favourite owl woke up to discover that the lovely leaves on his tree were changing colour. He realised that it meant the onset of autumn and he felt sad. But gradually he noticed the fun other birds were having with the crunchy leaves. And so it happened through each passing season that his tree kept changing. Not only did he come to accept it but, he understood the value of the changes. Before he knew it, summer was on the way again."--Publisher's website.

The owl & the woodsman, Dorsdorf, informs the child about the activity that goes on 24/7. When a child is asleep others are up and working. In this story it’s animals. The best analogy is Santa Claus; he’s delivering toys while they sleep. This can be expanded into different time zones Europe & seasons on the same day, Australia & North America. The gerbil teaches perception, being so small all people are giants in its eyes until he sits on a window sill of an office building 4 stories high and sees people as smaller. It’s a matter of perspective which he soon finds out when through a series of circumstances, he finds himself on the street with giants. He doesn’t ever get an explanation why he saw little people. The Child/s reader explains why the gerbil does not understand why the people and cars appear smaller because of height.

From Edward Lear’s “The Owl and the Pussycat”to David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, owls have been woven into the fabric of popular culture. At times they are depicted as dignified, wise old scholars and at other times as foreboding voyeurs who see all and interrogate with an accusatory, “Who? Who?” In Owl best-selling author Desmond Morris explores the natural and cultural history of these predators of the night who embody both good and evil in turn. In this fascinating book, Morris describes the evolution, the many species, and the wide spread of owls across the globe. Owls are found on every land mass around the world, with the exception of Antarctica; and as a result of their wide distribution, owls appear in the folktales, myths, and legends of many native peoples—in addition to popular art, film, and literature worldwide. Featuring over 100 telling illustrations from nature and culture, Owl will appeal to the numerous fans of this enigmatic bird, from the friendly Mr. Owls to silent, sinister, hunters of the dark.
