This book is written and illustrated by Matt Sewell, a British artist and This is a readable and fun book. The illustrations are charming and the descriptions are a little zany, comparing owls with people and more. Besides the mention of myths/gods and one illustration of a woman who isn't too modest, it's quite a swell book, about pocket-size. There is a place to check off owls you've seen, as well.
I received this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for an honest review.
