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. During the day, however, Solomon Owl he was quiet about it. One reason for his silence then was that he generally slept when the sun was shining. And when most people were sleeping, Solomon Owl was as wide awake as he could be. He was a night-prowler—if ever there was one. And he could see a mouse on the darkest night, even if it stirred ever so slightly. That was unfortunate for the mice. But luckily for them, Solomon Owl couldn't be in more than one place at a time. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been a mouse left in Pleasant Valley—if he could have had his way. "

If you happened to catch Solomon Owl resting among the thick hemlocks near the foot of Blue Mountain, where he lives, you will think that he looks strangely like a human being. He has no “horns,” or ear-tufts, such as some of the other owls wear; and his great pale face, with its black eyes, makes him seem very wise and solemn. But there is another very interesting thing about him: he has lots of forest friends. One of the most important things a parent can do for their child’s education is to read to them.
