Bandana Acres Hootin Goes Outside!, Book 4, (Paperback)

There's another adventure waiting for the residents of Bandana Acres, and the Bandana buddies are once again proving how important friends really are. Hootin the Owl has two owlets to take care of and Papa Hoot is nowhere to be seen. He's been gone for days and Hootin is so worried that he's been hurt. How can she hunt for food with two little ones needing care? If she leaves them alone, will they get hurt? That's when Ollie the farm dog and Feebs the cat offer to help, after reminding Hootin that "You're never really alone with your bandana buddies around." Author Kathy J. Perry once again shows her ability to both teach and entertain, with this wonderful addition to the Bandana Acres series. Easy-to-read text and fun, colorful illustrations add to its appeal, there's a glossary of words to help children understand the story, and questions that ask the children how they would react in the same situation. This book targets beginner readers but it's perfect for a family to read together. I love this series and I enjoy sharing these books with my seven-year-old granddaughter! I received a copy of this book from the publisher via Celebrate Lit, but there was no obligation for a favorable review, These are my own thoughts.
