Flying Lessons: A Graphic Novel (Owly #3): Volume 3

Andy Runton, Owly: Flying Lessons (Top Shelf, 2005) Owly and Wormy meet a flying squirrel; after some false starts, Owly, who was always last in his class at flying school, befriends the squirrel and tries to get himself off the ground. Another very cute entry in the series, and just as highly recommended as the first two. ****

Bah, just go out and pick up all three (soon to be four) Owly books. You'll be glad you did. See the other positive reviews for the first three volumes if you really need a reason - or just google Andy Runton and check out the samples available on his site.

...Runton did it again. I just can't get enough. Owly is my hero and the kind of beautiful soul everyone should aspire to be.

Lovable from start to finish with its simplicity. Good for all ages.

This all-ages graphic novel is the perfect gift for a friend or for yourself! Runton uses endearing and entertaining pictures to tell his story without any words, and the adorable characters will pull on the most cynical of heart-strings. Flying Lessons is the third adventure of Owly and Wormy, but you will have no trouble jumping into the story if it is the first time you've picked up an Owly book. Once again, Owly sets out to make a new friend in the forest, and along the way he learns about overcoming stereotypes and childhood fears. Runton is unparalleled in his ability to capture the heart and imagination of his readers. Flying Lessons was just as enjoyable as the previous two Owly books, and I can't wait for the next Owly story to come out!
