Explanation In Pursuance Of Books Owls in the Family

Farley Mowat's funniest book tells the adventures of Wol and Weeps, two owls from Saskatchewan who shape up a whole neighbourhood, turn a house topsy-turvy, and outsmart Mutt, the dog hero of The Dog Who Wouldn't Be. Wol brings dead skunks to the family dinner table and terrorizes the minister, the postman, and the French teacher. Weeps is a comical bird, afraid of everything except Mutt, and he never does learn how to fly. Here is the heartwarming story of how a boy named Billy finds Wol and Weeps and unwittingly adds two new members to the family.

Write Up Containing Books Owls in the Family

I remembered loving this book from when I was a kid! My sister's favorite animals were owls, so we were in awe of Farley's family who had two pet owls. After looking around for this book in the library, I finally ordered it off Amazon. It was so worth it! It was a quick read of 3 sittings and all three of my kids loved it and we all laughed and laughed. I've liked most of Farley Mowatt's books, but I've never read his most famous book: Never Cry Wolf. Someday I'll get to that.



9/10 - So good! One of our favorite readalouds of the summer. Full review here: http://www.sunlitpages.com/2016/09/re...

J really liked this book. He was so delighted to find, after we read the author's note at the end, that the boys and owls and adventures in the book were true! We started this one when his sisters wanted some girl time and were leaving him out, so I told him he could have his own read-aloud. It seemed like a poor second prize at the time, but he grudgingly sat with me to begin, saying, "Fine. Just one chapter." With each subsequent reading, that request changed into, "Let's read another chapter

If I was a kid reading this I'd give it more stars, although kids today may take umbrage at the same parts I did: steeling wild animals and their eggs and killing wild animals for fun... Aside from those parts it was a fun read.

Read this several years ago, and I remember liking it. I read it with a group of kids when I was working as a paraeducator.

Written by my 9yo son: "Owls in the Family is a funny book about two owls that a boy rescues. The owls end up becoming his bodyguards and end up changing his family and all of Saskatoon! It's very funny what with dogs wearing goggles, owls beating up the toughest dogs and boys in Saskatoon, and rattlesnakes in animal parades. Did I mention it was funny? It definitely was! I really liked it!"
