Owl Moon: 1988 Caldecott Medal Winner | Book Review
Some of the Caldecott books I've regretted buying from Amazon and wished I had borrowed at the library or as an electronic format first, because I really couldn't understand why it had won at all.
There's been a few that I've regretted buying, like Cinderella (there's better versions out there than the Caldecott winner version); as well as a favorite that my youngest has drawn on with a pen — like the Caldecott winner, The Snowy Day, which I had gotten as a board book format.
There's no removing the pen ink. To say I'm upset is a huge understatement, as I'm such a book lover.
So because I decided to collect Caldecott Medal winners for my children during birthdays and holidays as presents, I came across Owl Moon.
The illustrations are gorgeous. It's possibly one of the best children's book illustrations I've seen. Every page is just so beautiful, and the story itself is so wholesome too.
It's about a little girl who goes out at night in winter with her dad to go owl sighting. It's so nice reading it during the winter months, even though it's not a holiday book.
I read it repeatedly during the months of December and January to my youngest; she loves it when I make the hooting sounds in the book.
