Owly: Flying Lessons

I picked up this third book of Andy Runton's Owly series because it looked cute and simple. It wasn't until I got home that I realized this graphic novel didn't have any words. It was a good exersize for me to "read" the pictures very carefully. The story is very cute but also profound. Owly and his friend, Worm want to be friends with another creature of the forest. Not a likely candidate for friendship, but a turn of events results in a happily ever after. If you haven't read a graphic novel yet, pick one up and tell us about it.
