Owl Diaries: Warm Hearts Day (Book 5) by Rebecca Elliott is a delightful addition to the series in which the owls celebrate a holiday like Valentine’s Day. But the owl’s holiday is more about getting along with everyone and learning to help one another out. Elliott helps younger readers learn empathy and how to prioritize things that happen in their lives. While making presents for family is a nice way to celebrate, it is better to share gifts with those in need and to help those less fortunate.
This series is going fast, with my daughter asking for more than one chapter to be read per night. We’re sometimes reading two chapters at a time, and the other day, she wanted to buy owl pjs so she could be like Eva Wingdale. Ms. Elliott is missing out on merchandising here.
As always, the book is told in diary format with colorful illustrations. This format makes it easy for younger readers to follow along, and my daughter is getting to know the days of the week better than ever by sight.
Owl Diaries: Warm Hearts Day (book 5) by Rebecca Elliott is just one in a series of books to share with your children at bedtime. Eva is a delightful, caring little owl who is still learning how to see beyond her own concerns.
RATING: Cinquain
About the Author:
A school project from when Rebecca was 6 reads, ‘when I grow up I want to be an artist and a writer’. After a brief detour from this career plan involving a degree in philosophy and a dull office job she fulfilled her plan in 2001 when she became a full time children’s book illustrator and has since written and illustrated hundreds of picture books published worldwide including the award-winning Just Because, Zoo Girl, Naked Trevor, Mr Super Poopy Pants, Missing Jack and the very popular Owl Diaries series.
She lives in Suffolk in the United Kingdom with her husband, a history teacher and children, all professional monkeys.
Owl PJs would be so much fun! I’m glad she’s found a series she really likes.
She really does. I hope there’s another one we can find…we’re running out of books.
This sounds like a darling series. I love the idea of owl pjs! 🙂
She thought of that one all by herself.
I love your daughter’s enthusiasm for this series.
She loves it, but I have no idea what I’m going to do when we run out of books because new ones aren’t published yet.
Ideal and timely for youngsters.
It’s wonderful. My daughter may run out of books in this series to read unless the author is publishing more soon.
