Synopsis: Key Selling Points Owls are among the world’s most easily recognized and culturally significant birds. Although owls are extremely popular, most people rarely see them and don’t know a lot about them. This book features photos of all 19 species that live in Canada and the United States and is filled with information about these mysterious birds. It is timely because there is a strong push happening in many parts of North America to restrict the use of rodent poisons that are taking a heavy toll on owls and other predators that eat the poisoned rodents. Encourages kids to get actively involved in learning more about owls and ensuring their survival and includes profiles that present real-life examples of kids who are helping owls in various ways. Frances Backhouse is an award-winning science writer of nonfiction books for adults and kids. She has already written two books in the Orca Wild series (Beavers and Grizzly Bears ). She also has an adult nonfiction book on owls, Owls of North America .
