This is very fun and playful. It also made an appearance in my dream last night, and since it made that much of an impression on me, I'm rating it four stars instead of the three that I had anticipated.

However, if I were reading this picture book to a literal-minded young child, I would definitely make sure that they understand that these descriptions are fanciful and don't reflect real animal traits. This book is best for slightly older children who will appreciate the humor, not for little ones who are just beginning to learn about animals and the alphabet.

Fun! A different animal for each letter but no real story line.

cute as heck. i photocopied the unicorns page to hang by my desk.

A different kind of alphabet book. I thoroughly enjoyed this, especially the letter 'U'.

Creative animal alphabet book that reads like one long story. Unpredictable animals like meerkats, narwhals and voles show up to make this a truly "unusual alphabet book."

This book is adorable!

A fun way to learn and practice the alphabet.

A perfect addition to a little one’s bookshelf.

A story that will be read over and over again!

Such an owldorable (see what I did there) book! I received this book in exchange for a review and was instantly in awh. It's so cute. I love that it talks about unusual animals and tells a story about each animal.

A very clever alphabet book with some fun "facts" about each of its letters protagonists.

"Owls are Good at Keeping Secrets" is an adorable book, perfect for kids who are learning their letters and spelling. My girls are three so we spend a lot of time on recognizing letters and talking about what words start with which letters. This book is filled with funny phrases that had my girls laughing. I love books that are a good blend of fun and learning and this is definitely one of those!

I also have to mention the art in the book. The illustrations are gorgeous with adorable animals and nice vivid colors. My girls spent a lot of time looking at the pictures!

This was a very enjoyable book!
