Do You Hoot? (free children’s book download)

Do You Hoot? I had the privilege to watch a pair of Great Horned Owls this winter and spring raise their family in the Amity Creek Forest. This story is about the “Amity Owlets”, but particularly “Hoot!” and how she grew up from a chick to a juvenile owl.

As a way to encourage family time, and a knowledge of birds, I happily make my book available as a free PDF download!

Do You Hoot?!

Better yet, are you willing to help me by proofing / editing my new book? There is no pay involved, just the satisfaction of helping my new book be even better when published. This book will be available as a free PDF download, thus I do NOT make money off my book writing efforts. I am very thankful to anyone who is willing to help as it helps me keep costs down and in turn provide the free PDF online version.
