Owly, Vol. 3: Flying Lessons by Andy Runton
5.0
All of the Olwy books are picture only graphic novels. I've been snagging them from the library as I see them. They are a lovely way to unwind at the end of the day. I've tried getting my owl loving son to read them but he isn't interested. He's getting into chapter books so a graphic novel without any words seems like a huge step backwards for him.
In Owly Volume 3: Flying Lessons by Andy Runton, Owly and Wormy see a strange swooping creature at dusk. After a long discussion and comparing of pictures they discover their flying neighbor is a shy flying squirrel.
Owly as he always does, sets out to befriend the squirrel. There's just one big problem. Most owls eat squirrels. How can he convince the squirrel he's a friend and not a threat?
As the book progresses, it comes out that Owly can't fly. We get a glimpse of his past with traumatic flying lessons at school. Owly's friends decide its time for him to learn how to fly. As always, little Owly breaks my heart. He's such a charming and sweet character.
