This third entertaining chapter book retains the solid setting and believable characters of the earlier titles (Counting Sheep; Skunked!) but offers even more natural science. Calpurnia and her beloved grandfather rescue an injured owl, care for it, and release it into the wild. Generous spot art illustrates important plot points and supports the science.
