Message	Never particularly thought about owls until I read your book. Now I look for them. How about some of the interesting bugs we have up here, particularly the rain beetles and the tarantulas?

Message	I introduced So What Saw-Whet to the teacher of my son's class(Grade 1). She first read it to the class, then asked the children to comment on the book. They all enjoyed the book very much. The pictures are beautiful and authentic without being too complex for a young person's concentration. It is clearly written so that even the younger ones can follow well. Also, it is written in an interesting manner that the children want more. Each class member even took turns taking it home. I highly recommend this book for children of all ages.

Message	Reading on your Web site about how you met and then seeing Linda's huge lens brought vivid memory flashes of her first assignment. I remember she immediately bought an expensive digital camera, and I told her I couldn't pay her enough to make it worth such a purchase. She didn't care, wanted to take pictures anyway, so I asked her to take pictures of a working ranch, with cows. She wrote to me after the assignment about how she had to "chase those suckers down a hill," creating such a visual image that I had to laugh out loud. Later, Rochelle wrote humorous columns that gained her several fans at the office. We eagerly awaited each column, not only for the amusement, but because they always presented a new perspective on something people ordinarily don't think about. You two are a great team and I am proud to have worked with both of you. Ruth

Message	SO WHAT, SAW-WHET subtly conveys natural history information about owls with enjoyable text. Most adults don't know how the Saw-whet Owl got its name, but readers of this text discover the answer to this and many more owlish secrets through an exciting exchange with a Saw-whet Owl. This book is appropriate for all ages as it can be appreciated on many levels: for its teaching of owl facts, its melodic tone, and its vivid photographs that bring this stunning creature to life. I am a professional raptor educator and have added this book to my curriculum.
