Eva and the New Owl: A Branches Book (Owl Diaries #4)

Nothing else to say than it’s a cute chapter book, easy to read and might inspired kids to write a diary

The Owl Diaries series is perfect for your little one transitioning from picture books to chapter books.Pros:It FEELS like a chapter book, but isn't as hard as one might expect a chapter book to be. There are few words on each page, roughly as as many as you would find in a picture book, so the difficulty and amount of words doesn't change, only the format.Lots of pictures. Some pictures take up half the page or there are 3 pictures taking up a lot of space. Each page is lined like a journal entry, but the lines are cartoonish, so I think that counts as an image! The pictures and lined pages make this less intimidating to a kid new to chapter books.The 'journal' feel is like Diary of a Wimpy Kid or Dork Diaries, but with content that is appropriate for grade schoolers.Each chapter is 4 pages or so. Very quick and helps reader feel successful.The sentences are short and readable for first grade level readers (except, see below).CONS:There are made-up words that can trip up a new reader (ie. owl-tastic). So, independent reading can be tricky when confronting these words. Starts on pg 1.Some of the words are in different colors, which can distract from finishing the sentence or figuring out why that word was accented.OVERALL:The Owl Diaries books were excellent for my 1st grader at the beginning of the school year. Now she zooms through them too quickly! But she still wants to read them because they are fun and engaging, plus she feels successful finishing a 'chapter book' on her own. The Owl Diaries were among her first chapter books and gave her the encouragement she needed to tackle an intimidating-looking book! Now she's on to other chapter books with ease.

These books are so great for beginner readers. my daughter loves them

I bought 4 books of this series for my 6 yo daughter. She is happy to rea them by herself and asks for the next one. Personally I didn't find them interesting but children like them.

Thanks

My 7 year old daughter enjoys reading the Owl Diaries Series. Stories are entertaining and she loves the pictures. I go to Amazon for these books because it's a bit cheaper than most places especially if Amazon has deals on books.

My 9 & 7 year olds love these books with their cute characters and easy to read chapter book format. Own the first in the series already and this one was just as good!

What a great series!! My daughter just turned 4, we started reading these when she was 3. I know that they were meant for kids just a little older than my Evie is, but she just loves owls and since we sometimes call her Eva, she loves these books. We can read the whole book and it will keep her attention. Mind you, we do quite a bit of reading, but if this will keep a 4 year old's attention, I would think that even older kids would love them. We have 4 of the Owl Diaries and we love all of them. We will get every book in the series, as they come out. Rebecca, please keep writing more. Your books are a treasure!! (I hope she somehow reads this?)

The book is really nice. Well written. Lovely pictures. My 7year old girl just loves it. She keeps this book with her every night when she goes to bed. :D

Libro in inglese scritto in maniera molto semplice, con bellissime illustrazioni. Perfetto per chi vuole avvicinare il proprio bimbo alla lingua inglese.

Its the Best book tht my daughter love to read. Planning to buy the 5th and 6th book.

my daughter loves this series of books, a couple of challenging words to stretch there vocabulary but easy to read age 5-7

My granddaughter loved it. I have pre-ordered the #5 from Amazon and she will get it for Christmas. This is a great series for children, colourful, easy to read and interesting.
