A great book for parents to read to their youngest children, and then for the children to read for themselves as they grow! \"In spite of the mild, questioning look upon his face whenever anyone surprised him in the daytime, Solomon Owl was the noisiest of all the different families of owls in Pleasant Valley. There were the barn owls, the long-eared owls, the short-eared owls, the saw-whet owls, the screech owls—but there! there\'s no use of naming them all. There wasn\'t one of them that could equal Solomon Owl\'s laughing and hooting and shrieking and wailing—at night.
