【圖書簡介】 Late one winter night a little girl and her father go owling. The trees stand still as statues and the world is silent as a dream.Whoo.whoo-whoo， the father calls to themysterious nighttime bird.But there is no answer.Wordlessly the two companions walk along， for when you go owling you don't need words. You don't need anything but hope. Sometimes there isn't an owl， but sometimes there is.Distinguished author Jane Yolen has cre-ated a gentle， poetic story that lovingly depicts the special companionship of a young child and her father as well as human-kind's close relationship to the natural world. Wonderfully complemented by award-winning John Schoenherr's soft， exquisitewatercolor illustrations， this is a verbal and visual treasure， perfect for reading aloud andsharing at bedtime.作者簡介：JANE YOLEN， Philomel author of Touch Magic and Neptune Rising， is one of today's most versatile and distinguished writers of books for young readers， acclaimed for her poetry， humorous fiction， fantasy and folk tales， and novels for young adults.Owl Moon has been a particular pleasure for her to write， since her husband， David Stemple， frequently went owling on winter nights with their three children， Heidi，Adam， and Jason， near their rural Massa-chusetts home with the same anticipation and excitement as the characters in this story.Owling is a familiar pastime to natural-ist-writer JOHN SCHOENHERR as well.Renowned illustrator of over forty books，including the classic Rascal， Julie of the Wolves， Gentle Ben， and Dune， Schoenherr was educated at the Art Students League and Pratt Institute. In recent years he has primarily painted and has been featured in galleries across the country.Schoenherr was enticed back to illustrat-ing a children's book by the story Owl Moon，which reminded him of his own nighttime walks with his children， Jennifer and Ian. Indeed， the farm featured in Owl Moon is the Schoenherr farm， and the shadowed trees and trails are landmarks past which he and his family trudged on winter nights searching for the magnificent and elusive owl.
