Owl Diaries: A Woodland Wedding by Rebecca Elliott is the third book in this series, which does not necessarily need to be read in order. I'm so glad we took a chance on this series of books. My daughter is so excited to hear about Eva and her escapades with her classmates every night. I don't have to make reading a long, chapter book a chore. It's a breeze with Elliott's colorful pictures and fun adventures.
Imagine yourself as a little girl and your teacher is getting married, then take that a step further with Eva who creates an entire wedding planning club for herself and her classmates. Of course, Sue appears to be mean again in this one, but there are reasons behind her behavior. It's a good teaching moment for kids. It enables them to see that because someone is in a bag mood doesn't necessarily mean they are not a nice person. They might have other concerns. Kids need to learn how to empathize, and this book can provide that.
Owl Diaries: A Woodland Wedding by Rebecca Elliott is delightful, and my daughter is eager to start the next book. I'm wondering if the author plans to write a series based on Eva's brother, Humphrey!
