The Moon of the Owls

by Jean Craighead George Narrated by Barbara Caruso

Overview

In the glow of a full January moon, it is the great horned owl who first senses that it is the beginning of spring. With the first full moon-the moon of beginnings-the owl starts his annual courtship. In Thirteen Moons-a spellbinding wildlife series-Newbery Award-winning author Jean Craighead George has captured thirteen North American animals in their natural environments and chronicled their fight for survival. From the lush Florida Everglades to the snowy Alaskan tundra, this series explores the intricate relationships among animals, plants, and the ever-changing environment in which they live. A favorite of adults and children alike, George's entertaining and educational tales of nature alive and in action-Julie, Shark Beneath the Reef and Julie of the Wolves -have thrilled listeners for a generation. Barbara Caruso's inspired narration captures the vitality of life in the wild, and penetrates the mystery behind one of the forest's most revered animals.

Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal

Gr 3-6-- The night of the January full moon comes alive in this new edition of a 1967 title. This story focuses on a great horned owl as its mating season begins. It is a solid work of nonfiction that offers information about the behavior of many of the animals that share the owl's habitat and special insight into the instinctual forces that drive him towards his mate. The content is not different from the earlier version, but the language is smoother and more visual; the illustrations are large, dramatic, and in full color; and the format is much cleaner with large typeface and plenty of white space. A useful index and bibliography are appended. --Susan Oliver, Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library System
