Welcome to
The Five Owls

The Five Owls brings busy librarians and teachers a quick yet deep read on themes in children's literature.

Thematic bibliographies highlight some of the best children's books in print today.

Starred "Books of Merit" are selected from the thousands of books published each year and thoughtfully reviewed .

The Five Owls is a fun and easy way to keep abreast of the best.

Starred Books of Merit
Our blue-ribbon committees of librarians evaluate more than 3,000 books each year, but select only 60-80 titles worthy to be designated "Starred Books of Merit" - those that are judged "intelligent, beautiful, well-made and worthwhile in relation to books and literature in
general."
