One of the things I find funny about his diff. books is the way you find out that he's edited certain things from the stories. The end in real life was rather sadder than in the children's version. ( ) The first thing that comes to mind when describing this children's book is "old fashioned" - not necessarily in a bad way. The main character's childhood roamings through the prairie of Saskatoon chasing birds, catching gophers, and stealing eggs from nests seems so implausible and environmentally unsound now. Having said that, the story is sweet and funny and engaging. I'll be encouraging my third grader to read this one! no reviews | add a review

Every child needs to have a pet. No one could argue with that. But what happens when your pet is an owl, and your owl is terrorizing the neighbourhood? In Farley Mowat's exciting children's story, a young boy's pet menagerie--which includes crows, magpies, gophers and a dog--grows out of control with the addition of two cantankerous pet owls. The story of how Wol and Weeps turn the whole town upside down s warm, funny, and bursting with adventure and suspense. No library descriptions found. |
