Otto the Owl Who Loved Poetry

(4) K-3 "I'm nobody! Whooo are you?" Rather than hang out in a tree, owl Otto recites poetry, which inspires taunts ("Here comes Blotto the Bard!"). After Otto runs away, he makes unlikely friends--and fans. It all resolves too easily, but the starlit forest is a fantastic setting for the recitation of snippets by Dickinson, Eliot, and Kousky (this book's author).
