Merry and Hark is a lovely tribute to the tiny northern saw-whet owl who fell asleep in her favorite tree in the forest and is transported to a noisy city.
Merry always wanted to have a big adventure like the great owls she has heard stories about, but she's such a tiny thing, she spends her time in Hark, her favorite tree. The city is strange and loud. There's no food for Merry.
Lucky for her, a lady discovers her hole on the third day and takes her home, nursing her back to health. The lady shows Merry her tree, now decorated for Christmas. Merry thinks the humans are trying to bring the stars to the city. Merry is released back into her forest when she is better.
A beautiful story of the forest, its creatures and caring humans who make things right.
A lovely Christmas story.
Recommended 3 and up.
