Re: BOOK: There's an owl in the shower by George

[Wanda Nall <wnall@TENET.EDU>]

 This book was nominated for the Texas Bluebonnett  Award this past year .
I used it with third graders for our lunch bunch book club.  We had a lot
of fun with the book and did research on the spotted owl since we do not
have any here in Hereford.
Great Book,
