OWLS IN THE FAMILY

Living in the Saskatchewan River Valley, Billy and his friend, Bruce, keep lots of pets: gophers, rabbits, pigeons, even rats and snakes. When the boys get Wol and Weeps, the young owlets, the real fun begins! Wol and Weeps seem to think they're human. Wol is quite surprised to learn that he can (almost!) fly. The bolder of the two, Wol has humorous run-ins with almost everyone: the maid, the minister, the mailman, and even Billy's faint-hearted French teacher. Wol enjoys teasing Mutt, Billy's dog, and protecting timid Weeps from mean cats and canine. When Billy's family moves to the city, Wol and Weeps make a new home on Bruce's farm.
