my book so I think it's brilliant :
Elan A small owl learns to be brave, and through helping he is a good example to a bully owl.
A children's book about Paul, an Elf owl the smallest owl in nature,
Gary is a big Spotted owl, who mocks Paul,
Paul learn about life, and his own strength, I was asked to read and review this book, Because my daughter is in the age group for this book, I read it with her, She loved it and said it wasstars, It is a great book that teaches kids not to listen to bullies, That you can do anything you want! It is a book that will be added to our reading list in our house.
I personally loved this book! The lesson was great and it made it easy for me to explain to myyear old! I love that Paul never gave up even though Gary made fun of him! No matter how small an owl Paul was, he was still an OWL and in the end a small, brave owl!! Bravo Élan on a great children's book!!! Paul is one of the smallest types of owls, the Elf Owl.
He is just old enough to make his first solo flight, When he does, he is mocked by Gary, a Spotted Owl, He tries to deal with the situation by avoiding the bully, but finds that solution doesnt work.
Paul remembers what his grandfather told him
“Even if you are a small owl, you are still an OWL,
and you can do anything you want”
This saying helps him stay courageous and do things that are hard, even helping
others who are in a tight spot.
I thought this was a lovely book that was quite suitable for the younger child to have the book read to him or her.
As the child grows older, s/he will enjoy reading the book on his/her own,
Paul the Owl also a great book to help parents and teachers explain to children of all ages not to listen to the mean things that bullies say to them.
It can help them to have confidence in themselves that they can do anything if they put their minds to it, regardless of what others tell them.
In fact, as in Pauls case, sometimes it is better to be small than big,
I liked Pauls response to Garys plea for help even though Gary had been bullying him.
He didnt let the fact that Gary had been bullying affect his response at all, Instead, he saw there was a need and he responded with kindness and generosity and pitched in to help.
I think this says volumes more than what we often tell our children and will help the bully to see what the right behaviour is.
There is a picture on almost every other page taking up about a half page, with lots of text on the remaining page and a half.
Generally this format would indicate that the book is for a child who is already reading independently.
This story and its theme however, is suitable for children beginning ageif the book is read to them.
The pictures are nicely done in lots of browns and blues since they are night pictures of owls.
The pictures are clear and easy to see,
I loved this book and gave itout of, I would recommend Paul the Owl to anyone with children,
Thank you to the author who provided a copy of the book in exchange for a fair and honest review.
A positive opinion was not required, All thoughts are my own,
This review was published on my blog Shelf Full of Books sitelink blogs Paul is an elf owl, . . the smallest of owls
He is ridiculed and humiliated by this fact from a larger spotted owl,
BUT
When Paul must give all his strength to help save some baby owls he comes to truly believe that
"Even if you are a small owl, you are still an OWL, and you can do anything you want.
"
A GREAT book to just simply read!
A WONDERFUL book to teach children about selfesteem and the harmful effects of teasing others.
