We’re going to the birds today at STEM Friday.<\/p>\n

Over at Growing with Science blog<\/a> we have the super picture book, Whooo Knew? The Truth About Owls<\/em> by by Annette Whipple.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What do you notice when you see the owl on the cover? Maybe the huge eyes? What do you think of? The sound they make? Have you ever seen an owl in real life?<\/p>\n

The book starts out with these observations and a stirring question:<\/p>\n

“You recognize an owl when you hear or see one, but do you really know these birds?”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

From there, each double-page spread features gorgeous color photographs with text in a question and answer format. You will find out what owl’s eat, how they hunt, whether they sleep during the day, where they live, and what’s up with owl pellets. My favorite questions was whether owls can spin their heads around. Do you know the answer?<\/p>\n

The formatting is engaging, with eye-catching design elements and fun dialogue bubbles with cool facts. Great for visual learners.<\/p>\n

The back matter will thrill educators. There’s a section about how to help owls, an explanation of owl anatomy, an owl pellet dissection discussion, and a glossary.<\/p>\n

Whooo Knew? The Truth About Owls<\/em> is nonfiction at its best. It will obviously appeal to young birdwatchers and nature lovers, but also to anyone interested in the world around them. Reading it will make you wiser <wink>.<\/p>\n
