Have you ever wondered what it might be like to be an owl? Come join Professor Olaf Owl in Jane Porter's delightful book: So You Want to Be an Owl to learn if you have what it takes to be a stealthy, feathered creature who is so fly when it flys! You'll learn the superhero-like qualities of owls including: flying silently (you'd have special feathers that make it harder for others to hear you coming), being able to hide (such as being the same color as tree bark), and seeing in the dark (you'd also have to be able to swivel your head (a whopping 270 degrees!). If those amazing skills weren't enough you'd also have super sonic hearing and be an amazing hunter.
