For example, Owly and Wormy adventure out for a day's hike, and it begins raining. This one also focuses on adaptation to variables during adventuring. The story as well is just as happy, enjoyable, and emotional as past stories, with the common and highly-welcome theme of making new friends. With the new format, there are larger pictures and multiple new colours. It's a larger book in the format of a children's book, and a single story, whereas previous books in the series have been a condensed collection of stories.

The different format from previous Owly books is very cute and welcome. Runton takes fear of the dark and the unknown and turns it into a chance to make new friends and see new things in this strong addition to a great series. All of the content is ideal for the youngest independent pre-readers who will enjoy having a graphic novel of their very own. Add the dash of darkness, the storm and a really dark cave and you have a real adventure. Happily, Owly and Wormy have a warm friendship that is evident from the very first page.

This wordless picture book relies on its illustrations to succeed. There are strange and frightening noises and their telescope has disappeared! It will take real bravery and no fear of the dark to figure out what happened. Along the way, they get caught in a rainstorm and take refuge in a cave. In this book, Owly and Wormy go on a trek out of the woods and up to a hill where they will be able to view the stars better. Runton has started to do more picture book versions as well and this is one of those. I’m happy to say that the series has continued to be just as good as that first book. Unburdened by the need to read words, he immediately took to both Owly and Wormy. When the first Owly book came out years ago, I made sure to get it into the hands of my own reluctant reader.
