Owly, Vol. 3: Flying Lessons Paperback – January 5, 2006

The first series my kiddo could “read” in her own. Not many words but an easy story to follow. Beautiful and fun artwork.

No exaggeration in the title, these books have been amazing. It was a struggle getting my 5y/o to want to read and I kept trying to find exciting books with fun pictures and simple words that she could be interested in. She gets discouraged easily with hard vocabulary and will just resort to looking at pictures. A local bookshop recommended Owly to me and it has been amazing. I only had to read a handful of pages to her so that she could learn how to read a graphic novel, what order to look at the panels, etc. The stories are engaging, she loves the characters, the panels are linked intuitively, and she has devoured the entire series over a course of weeks. The vocabulary is perfect for the age group without taking away from the story. There are occasional large words that she would need help with, but probably only 5-6 per book. Her reading has changed from a point of concern to one of her strong suits, solely because of her interest in these books.I can't recommend them highly enough. She recommends #2 in the series as the best.

My grandson, age 7, loves this series. He is a big fan of owls anyway, but Owly is particularly endearing. He told his parents these were his favorite books.

My 6 year old son loves these books. He loves the characters, the names, the plot, everything. I love the fact that Owly (the main character) never actually speaks words, he speaks in pictures. I don't know if the author intended it or not, but it makes it very relatable for children with autism, apraxia, or other speaking difficulties. If you have a child on the spectrum (or even if you don't) I would highly recommend you give the book a try.

Fantastic for any age! I'm a grown woman & love Andy Runton's works! And of course, every kid i know loves them too! They bring such comfort and joy when it's sorely needed nowadays. I believe everyone needs an Owly book...if not all of them 😁

My son loves this little book. Thank you Amazon!!

In one of my art classes we had to do a series of drawings that conveyed meaning and dialogue without actually having words. My teaching assistant brought it the first book of this series because the artist Andy Runton does just that with this series. It is about a vegetarian owl and his forest friends learning different lessons, meeting new animals and much more. I met the artist at comic con and am hooked on these. My small brother also loves these because I read these to him, but since they have no words I have to come up with them myself and It can definetly be entertaining.
