"The Christmas Owl" is a gentle story written by Angela Muse and beautifully illustrated by Helen H. Wu. It shares the great message that, if you show kindness to strangers, it will be repaid.

I found the rhyming story to be a bit forced and clunky at times, and the punctuation to be dubious. There was also an error in vocabulary that I won't point out because most people probably wouldn't notice. I do, however, find this a bit disturbing in a children's book of only 500 words or so.

This book would make a lovely Christmas gift for a special child in your life. It encourages the gift of giving, being generous, and being grateful, all of which are great sentiments for this time of the year.

I received this book for the purpose of providing an honest review.
