In Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise (Sean Taylor), I love the contrast between the dark, majestic language and the silly, everyday tone when Hoot Owl’s hunting methods don’t work. It makes me picture a kid pretending to be a superhero or something and talking all superhero‑y and then breaking off to say, “Oh, wait. I’ve gotta go to the bathroom.” My poetryaction for this one is a silly pondering of one of Hoot Owl’s disguise choices. Maybe your students could write a poetryaction that tells what they think a character should have done differently.

love the first two line will have to look for this book at the library
the owl carrot idea would also be a great craft idea to do with kids with reading this poem or to make a puppet of an owl out of a carrot to use wit a reading
True–an owl puppet could hide in/under/behind various things in the room as you read :>)
