These wordless short stories are heartfelt and fun. The clever illustrations tell each story beautifully. While the tales may be simple, the themes are deep and universal. A great book for teaching fictional elements when you don't want to fuss over the words. Great for beginning readers.
This collection of short stories feature Owly and Wormy and many of their friends. Each tale is enchanting in its own way, but all illustrate the caring friendship of the two main characters. Ready to help or to just have fun, this delightful duo is always ready to share with and assist others. This book also has the added bonus of Owly’s beginnings in a special section with the author’s first drawings. This series of graphic novels, told in creative drawings with symbols and a minimum of words, is great for all ages.
This is the fifth graphic novel in the Owly series. I thought it was beyond cute and fun to read. This particular graphic novel did not have words so I wasn't technically reading it but the pictures told a story that was very easy and fun to follow. The entire graphic novel is just short tales about Owly's adventures and he is so cute, I greatly enjoyed reading this!
Owly shows how much he cares as each tale is comprised of him and his friends on mini-adventures whether it's trying to win a contest, flying a kite, getting out of a situation and so on. There isn't a cuter character than Owly as his huge eyes shows every emotion magnified. Wonderful book for young children.
I loved this graphic novel. The stories, carrying the theme of kindness is very heart-warming and keeps me wanting to read more. This would be a great graphic novel for children because of the adorable illustrations, the intriguing plot lines, and the ease of reading.
This particular book is the 5th of the Owly series, stories about this adorable little owl who communicates little, but the illustrations are so well done that they completely fill in for the small amount of words used in the book. Owly is a very sweet, innocent, and loving character. He goes on little adventures with his friend, Wormy. I can see how this book would assist a very young audience (children just learning to read) in really understanding what is going on in the story, and focusing on the images to help them decipher what is happening in the story. I think children would absolutely adore these books!
Owly is a one of a kind book which leaves readers with insperation to make the world a better place. I think that this one of a kind book that Andy Runton makes is a good book. This book has many mini stories about owly and his friend Wormy, where everyday they have an adventure and finding the meanings of true friendship,respect,loyalty and hope. Owly the main character is an owl and as most people know birds are not really friends with owls but owly is a friendly owl that tries to make new friends everyday. Wormy is a little worm, he met owly when he was floating on the lake during a rainstorm and later he decides to live with owly and become best friends. I think this book is the perfect book with setting because you use the pictures show more to find the storyline in every little story.

I chose this book because its easy and fun to read and I hope that you will like this book as much as I did.
