A collection of Owly minicomics that have appeared in various places. Various lengths, some just a page or two long and some 20-30 pages... All of them are cute enough to make your brain explode. :) Also includes some developmental art in the back.

Owly is a one of a kind book which leaves readers with insperation to make the world a better place. I think that this one of a kind book that Andy Runton makes is a good book. This book has many mini stories about owly and his friend Wormy, where everyday they have an adventure and finding the

meanings of true friendship,respect,loyalty and hope. Owly the main character is an owl and as most people know birds are not really friends with owls but owly is a friendly owl that tries to make new friends everyday. Wormy is a little worm, he met owly when he was floating on the lake during a rainstorm and later he decides to live with owly and become best friends. I think this book is the perfect book with setting because you use the pictures to find the storyline in every little story.

I chose this book because its easy and fun to read and I hope that you will like this book as much as I did.

Tiny tales chronicles the adventures and lessons and realizations of Owly and his friends such as a rabbit, a raccoon and a worm. Plot is laid out with the help of portrayal of the emotions of each character where there would usually be words. Thought bubbles also give context to the plot and tone

of the story.

This particular book is the 5th of the Owly series, stories about this adorable little owl who communicates little, but the illustrations are so well done that they completely fill in for the small amount of words used in the book. Owly is a very sweet, innocent, and loving character. He goes on

little adventures with his friend, Wormy. I can see how this book would assist a very young audience (children just learning to read) in really understanding what is going on in the story, and focusing on the images to help them decipher what is happening in the story. I think children would absolutely adore these books!

This collection of short stories feature Owly and Wormy and many of their friends. Each tale is enchanting in its own way, but all illustrate the caring friendship of the two main characters. Ready to help or to just have fun, this delightful duo is always ready to share with and assist others.

This book also has the added bonus of Owly’s beginnings in a special section with the author’s first drawings. This series of graphic novels, told in creative drawings with symbols and a minimum of words, is great for all ages.

These wordless short stories are heartfelt and fun. The clever illustrations tell each story beautifully. While the tales may be simple, the themes are deep and universal. A great book for teaching fictional elements when you don't want to fuss over the words. Great for beginning readers.
