Owl Puke

Rating:
Summary: Great book, but . . .
Review: it's just not as good as the movie. Let's face it, when you have Marlon Brando playing a steaming pile of Owl chuck, you can't really go wrong.

Having said that, this is definitely the best book on Owl Vomit that I have read this week.

Summary: I Love Owls
Review: I love owls, and I loved this book. I can't imagine a better way for kids to get involved with natural science than having a book like this. I'd love to see more books like this. They make science accessible to young kids, and they're also great fun!

Summary: FUN AND ENTERTAINING!!
Review: My 8 year old son was so excited to get this book. Naturally, he loves anything gross and Owl Puke combined that natural affinity for the 'yuck' factor with an entertaining (and educational) read. (Great title, too). I highly recommend this book to parents everywhere and look forward to seeing what's next from Hammerslough!

Summary: A must-have for kids interested in animals
Review: This is a fascinating and funny way to learn about owls for kids--mine didn't want to put the book down!

Summary: Useless. Missing the point.
Review: This is horrible. Why buy a book that shows you how to find skeletons in owl puke when the joy of watching the actual owl puke has been completely forgotten?

Sure, it may be marketing savvy to name the book "Owl Puke" and to label the box containing owl puke "Owl Puke," but to not witness a real life owl puking seems perverse in my opinion. Call me old-fashioned.

But the song "Hot Shot City" is particularly good.

Summary: The Best!
Review: This kit has a real Ren & Stimpy feel to it. I mean, a kit full of bird barf? While not as rewarding as watching the owl caugh up the actual pellet in the wild, this education book is likely to open doors to the world birding in ways that no youngster, teacher, or parent ever expected. Truth be told, kids find body functions funny, and barfing is one of the favs.

And by the way, my thanks to whoever took the pic of the Great Horned Owl on the front cover.

Summary: Great educational fun for kids and parents!
Review: This very entertaining book is packed with fascinating and fun facts about owls and their prey--a great gift for any kid interested in science. We loved dissecting the pellet and putting the skeleton together. A winner!
