Linda 's Reviews > The Little Owl & the Big Tree

I imagine you know Jonah and Jeannette Winter's beautiful books and this is another, telling the story of that tiny Northern saw-whet owl stuck in her hole as her home was cut down, destined to be the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. She hunts at night, and this time, after that, cozied up asleep, strange sounds happen and the tree falls down. The owl has no idea what's going on, stays in the hole, is transported to NYC. The rest, meeting Jason Ramos, a worker, weak and afraid, she allows him to pick her up. She's taken to a wildlife rehab center for about a week, then released into the wild. The Winters tell the story piece by piece, a tale to celebrate in awe of the happy ending. Be sure to find this tiny creature that's hiding on the pages! There is an author's note that gives all the facts!
