Week 21:

The Dot VS Owl Moon

  

Owl Moon:

Summary:

Owl Moon, the timeless and beautiful award-winning classic, is celebrating its twentieth year of charming and delighting children the world over. This touching story of a child and parent finding magic and adventure in a simple, snowy nighttime search for the great horned owl won the Caldecott Award in 1988.

Review:

This book is an award winner, and I can see why. The story is reminiscent of the kind of childhood memories that stick to your brain like peanut butter sticks to, well, pretty much anything. The illustrations are exquisite, with a capital E. If you’d like to read an award winning book, I’d make sure to add this one to the list.

The Dot:

Summary:

With a simple, witty story and free-spirited illustrations, Peter H. Reynolds entices even the stubbornly uncreative among us to make a mark - and follow where it takes us.

Review:

I really, REALLY liked this book. It inspired me while I was watching it! Creativity. Encouragement. Challenge. It’s all in this book. This should be on a motivational book shelf somewhere. Maybe even yours.

The Winner:

Congratulations to The Dot! 

We will see you in November!

We’ll see everyone else next week!
