I have read several books with my daughter in the Owly series and have found the stories to be excellent for retelling stories, creating narratives, helping a reader understand the emotions of a character and the interaction between characters.
Within each picture, there is detail and context that gives the reader clues to how the story is going to proceed, which helps improve a child’s ability to pick up on certain specifics of the illustrations and the sequencing of the story. For example, in the second story in this book, The Bittersweet Summer, the Owl and Worm miss their hummingbirds, Angel and Tiny because they have to go south for the winter. Throughout both stories, the reader can understand the emotions of each character and succession of events that lead to specific parts of the story from the finite details of the story. The book takes the reader on an adventure about love, friendship and commitment between friends. Owly, The Way Home and The Bittersweet Summertells the story of how Owly met his best friend, Wormy. This is also a series that be enjoyed together with a parent. This series is ideal for any age but I think most appropriate for young school age children ages 5 and up. Owly, by Andy Runton is a wonderful wordless graphic novel series about an Owl named Owly and his best friend, Wormy.
