An owl goes
hunting for a mouse for his friends dinner. But because he is bad at swooping,
he crashes into a tree and meets a mouse instead. After much discussion the mouse talks the owl
into trying a special spot to be a successful swooper and owl learns that mouse
has always wanted to fly. So together they take off to make their dreams come
true. Will Owl give mouse over for supper after all?
This is a cute
story with a fun message about friendship and some fun humor. The other owl bossing
the younger owl to go get a mouse was kind of confusing –did he have to obey because it was
a bigger owl? Who was the big owl? The artwork has some gorgeous sky colors but
does seem sort of dated, like 1970’s feeling.
