Owl Moon is based on a poem.Lets read this owl
poem before we begin Jane Yolens book.

• Mr. Owl
• I saw an owl up in a tree.
• I looked at him, he looked at me,
• I couldnt tell you of his size.
• For all I saw were tow big eyes
• As soon as I could make a dash,
• Straight home I ran as quick as a flash!
