Fliss is at the fairground with her friend Gabriel when she is whisked magically off to Texas to help a baby barn owl called Cookie who needs reuniting with his mum. Neglectful mothers, hungry racoons and dangerous machines threaten both the baby owl and Fliss, but Fliss is determined to save the day and get Cookie back to his nest.
Little Owl Rescue is a sweet chapter book for emerging readers. Cookie the barn owl is adorable and the artwork spaced throughout was a real treat. This story is perfect for readers who are ready to move beyond full colour pictures, but still enjoy some illustrations interspaced throughout the text.
Fliss is a lovely protagonist who cares deeply about wildlife and has a wealth of knowledge in how to look after them. My daughter and I learnt a lot of interesting facts about animal care while reading. Fliss is also never afraid to face her fears, especially not if she knows an animal is in danger.
The magical elements were really fun and my daughter loved working out where Fliss had gone and how she would get home.
Thank you Little Tiger for sending us a copy of Little Owl rescue to review.
