The Barn Owls

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Deborah Kogan Ray. In vague free verse, Johnston describes how generations of barn owls have hunted, slept, and raised their young in and around the old barn in a wheat field for "one hundred years at least." The text and watercolor illustrations, which show the owl with an exaggerated wingspan, offer a poetic rather than scientific look at barn owls, but may inspire readers to seek additional information elsewhere.
