Horrid Henry

Attribution
Francesca Simon ; illustrated by Tony RossPublication Details
BookSourcebooks Jabberwocky2009Description
PRAISE FOR HORRID HENRY Why Horrid Henry? SF Said, Guardian Children’s Books Supplement Kids get to be harmlessly rebellious “Henry is a beguiling hero who has entranced millions of reluctant readers… Herald Henry’s naughtiness is a yardstick against which children can get a sense of their own moral goodness and social justice “What is brilliant about the books is that Henry never does anything that is subversive. Emily Turner, Angels And Urchins Magazine Reaches the most important age group - children who are learning to read “I have tried out the Horrid Henry books with groups of children as a parent, as a babysitter, and as a teacher. Danielle Hall, Teacher The structure provides new readers with a real sense of accomplishment “My son is 7 years old and a big Horrid Henry fan. WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT HORRID HENRY: “Parents reading them aloud may be consoled to discover that Henry can always be relied upon to behave worse than any of their own offspring.” (automatically summarized from Amazon.com)Availability

Wesley The Owl : The Remarkable Love Story Of An Owl And His Girl

Attribution
Stacey O’BrienPublication Details
Book1st Free Press hardcover edFree Press2008Links
Description
On Valentine’s Day 1985, biologist Stacey O’Brien first met a four-day-old baby barn owl — a fateful encounter that would turn into an astonishing 19-year saga. As O’Brien gets close to Wesley, she makes important discoveries about owl behavior, intelligence, and communication, coining the term “The Way of the Owl” to describe his inclinations: he did not tolerate lies, held her to her promises, and provided unconditional love, though he was not beyond an occasional sulk. Enhanced by wonderful photos, Wesley the Owl is a thoroughly engaging, heartwarming, often funny story of a complex, emotional, non-human being capable of reason, play, and, most important, love and loyalty.
