Wesley the Owl is the Greatest Book of All Time

Hey friends! It's been a while, I know. But we're back and I have some vital reading for everyone. The sis (Eggie!) got me Wesley the Owl for Christmas and I just finished reading it (yeah, it's still Christmas). It's the story of Stacey O'Brien, an owl researcher in California, who raises Wesley, an unreleasable orphaned Barn Owl from birth. Wesley becomes her constant companion and she discovers a deeper intelligence to owls than even seasoned experts had previously seen. Seriously, folks...I laughed, cried, went AAWWWWWWWW pretty much every page of the book, and generally just LOVED it. I adore owls, but even if you don't, this story is so heartwarming and wonderful that one can't help but smile at Wesley's personality and owly antics. So please hasten to your nearest independent bookseller and find a copy of Wesley the Owl at your earliest convenience. Your heart will melt! MELT!
