Look at me...I'm Baxter, a barred owl

Katherine Chowner Davis

"Look at Me...I'm Baxter, a Barred Owl follows baby owl Baxter's adventures after he falls from his nest before he could fly and what he had to do to get off the ground to survive. It's geared toward children of all ages and filled with photos of Baxter's exploits: carefully climbing up a big tree and later hopping from branch to branch to strengthen his muscles for flying one day. Baxter's tale also helps children build self-esteem. Baxter's Mum couldn't help him when he fell, and he had to figure out how to climb up a tree to safety...one step at a time. He knew he could do it, his Mum knew he could do it, and he showed the doubting spectators that he could do it all by himself. It is the author's hope that by exposing children to Baxter's story, their natural curiosity will be sparked, which, in turn, will make them want to go outdoors and explore what is out there. It starts in their own backyard. From an early age, they will then want to protect the environment where all the beautiful creatures live."--amazon.com
