Celebrating 30 years of the beloved classic Owl Moon from renowned children's book author Jane Yolen and Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator John Schoenherr! Late one winter night a little girl and her father go owling. The trees stand still as statues and the world is silent as a dream. Whoo-whoo-whoo , the father calls to the mysterious nighttime bird. But there is no answer. Wordlessly the two companions walk along, for when you go owling, you don't need words. You don't need anything but hope. Sometimes there isn't an owl, but sometimes there is. Distinguished author Jane Yolen has created a gentle, poetic story that lovingly depicts the special companionship of a young child and her father as well as humankind's close relationship to the natural world. Wonderfully complemented by John Schoenherr's soft, exquisite watercolor illustrations, this is a verbal and visual treasure, perfect for reading aloud and sharing at bedtime.

The most amazing children's book I've ever seen
This is by far the most amazing children's book I've ever seen. Our daughter LOVES it and asks us to read it to her constantly. Such a beautiful story and drawings. She was just under 2.5 when we started reading it to her and it was PERFECT for her even then (despite it being really quite advanced language).

Quiet time story time
I used this book to help the children to quiet down, because the child in the book explains how special it is to go into woods but you have to be quiet (even when you're a bit cold).

ある夜ふけ、ミミズクさがしにいったの、とうさんと。
小学6年に語りとして使うに際し、邦訳の工藤直子さん訳は素晴らしいけど、自分の語り口に合わないことばや順序があったので、原書を取り寄せた。私の拙い英語力では、工藤さんには及ばないけど、英語で本当のニュアンスがわかり、語るのに勉強になった。語りだったので、絵本を見せず、子どもには、目をつむって語り手のことばだけで想像して、と言って終始。ヨーレンの、父と娘、ワシミミズクとの遭遇の瞬間に至るまでを、子どもたちは娘と一緒に体験したと思えた。今回は使わなかったが、絵作者もヨーレンの詩を素晴らしく助けている。実際に登場したのは、娘と父だけだけど、その後ろに家族があり、とても幸せなシチュエーションも自然も子どもの心に残ったら嬉しい本。
