Book Review: Owly by Andy Runton

Posted: March 8th, 2010 | Author: Julia Posey | Filed under: Book Reivew | No Comments »

Andy Runton’s fantastic Owly series entered my family’s life when my oldest son found Owly Tiny Tales at the library. I saw him at a table flipping through it before he brought it to the front desk for checkout. Little did I realize then what a treasure he had discovered.

Owly is a comic book/graphic novel series sharing stories of a big hearted owl. Runton skillfully presents tales of friendship and the human spirit ironically through a group of close knit forest animals. And he accomplishes this without words. The story is driven by illustration alone. I’m amazed at the depth of emotion Runton evokes by his images.

Owly is a story that speaks to children and adults of all ages.
