Obviously it's kind of hard to use a wordless picture book in Storytime - but I still loved this one. It's cute and heartfelt. I loved the illustrations - so bright and full of life and fun!

I like this wordless picture book series. Owly and Wormy are sweet friends, and I love how we can tell the story together, elaborating or not as we want.

For a wordless picture book this is very adorable and I've come to love Owly and Wormy. Their friendship is amazing and they are always encouraging eachother and being very optimistic. You have to make sure to read their "speech" bubbles to make sense of what they would be trying to say, but otherwise very short and sweet story!

This wordless picture book uses a graphic novel format, and there's frequently so much going on in the pictures that it's confusing. The panels are too busy for this to work well for most audiences.

Owly books are always great picks for children becoming more independent, but aren't yet ready for reading actual words. Runton does a wonderful job of conveying a story in just the pictures, with a little help from some "picture speech," where the animals convey their problems in simple pictograms.
It was particularly interesting to me to see this book as it's the first Owly book I've seen which is done in color. His comic collections are all black-and-white, and, while still good, the addition of color really leaves and impression.
I also loved the bats thing. I know books about how bats are nice are becoming more common, but it still makes me quite happy to find a positive depiction.
Of course, this is all my personal opinion. I'm really unsure how well a child will like this book, so unless they're really into owls, bats, or, I suppose, worms, best to give it a try from the library BEFORE an outright purchase.

The illustrations are SO adorable, and it was a cute little wordless story. But honestly, I kind of had a tough time deciphering some of the pictures. If you're letting a child make up a story to go along with the pictures anyway, then that doesn't really matter.
