This award-winning series is not one to be missed!Īfter reading a spooky story to his little friend Wormy, Owly must assure his friend that there are no such things as monsters. As a teacher, this book is perfect for introducing young children to skills such as “reading the pictures” and for teaching older children skills like inferencing. It is perfect for all age levels as even the youngest of readers can easily understand what is going on. This story follows the themes of friendship and acceptance as Owly and Wormy must be brave in accepting a new forest friend who is very different. His interactions with his best friend Wormy and the many other forest creatures they encounter are sure to melt the heart of its readers. He is an innocently sweet owl who has a heart of gold. I fell in love with Owly and his series the first time I saw him. Through his framed images, a few sound words, and dialogue-like representations, the reader is instantly drawn in. The illustrations follow Runton’s whimsical, animated style that perfectly capture the characters’ emotions and bring the story to life. Through acts of kindness, Owly and Wormy convince the opossum that they are good and new friendships are made. Owly and Wormy try to reach out to him, but again, the animal is scared of Owly. In this book, we meet Opossum- a new creature to the forest who is very shy and often misunderstood because of the way he looks. The Owly books have been praised for their 'charm, wisdom, and warmth' by Booklist, and said they are 'one of the best comics for kids around.
(Mar.In volume 4 of Andy Runton’s charming wordless graphic novel series, Owly, Vol 4: A Time to Be Brave, we continue to follow the adventures of Owly and his best friend Wormy as they learn an important life lesson: accepting others despite their differences. Andy Runton is the award-winning creator of Owly, which has earned him multiple awards, including the Eisner Award for Best Publication for a Younger Audience.
Even very young children will be able to puzzle out the story's details from the expressions on the characters' faces, and Runton's unvarnished sentimentality creates an atmosphere of absolute security. Runton's colors are unabashedly cheerful-lemony yellows, sky blues, and velvety purple for night scenes-and clever, rewarding touches abound (when Owly gets a brainstorm, it's an efficient compact fluorescent light bulb that appears). Owly is a round ball with enormous, expressive eyes and pointy ears tiny, blobby Wormy often perches on his head. " ≠ !" " = home," a baseball-capped caterpillar explains tearfully. Since there's no text, their heated discussion is portrayed through speech balloons containing miniature illustrations and energetic punctuation: " = !" Wormy protests. Andy Runton’s Owly is a new favorite of mineit’s a breath of fresh air, an uplifting comic about a sympathetic, occasionally hapless, big-hearted owl that can’t quite fly. In the duo's first picture book, Owly learns that in order to attract the butterflies he yearns for, he must plant milkweed in his garden however, he and Wormy are disconcerted by the caterpillars that show up. Fans of Runton's series of graphic novels know about Owly and Wormy's warm friendship and Owly's love for all living things.
