Full color.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Every child needs to have a pet. No one could argue with that. <p/> But what happens when your pet is an owl, and your owl is terrorizing the neighbourhood? <p/> In Farley Mowat's exciting children's story, a young boy's pet menagerie--which includes crows, magpies, gophers and a dog--grows out of control with the addition of <i>two</i> cantankerous pet owls.
