A Parliament of Owls
by Devin Scillian, Sam Caldwell (Illustrator)

5 out of 5 stars

A young girl calls each group of animals to convene for a huge photo. A parliament of owls arrive on a tree, along with a murder of crows. There is a warren of rabbits, a gaggle of geese, and a raft of otters. Some of the strangest groups are the memory of elephants, the charm of hummingbirds, and the pandemonium of parrots. When the animals are finally assembled, the girl takes a massive group photo with all the animals together!

I liked that the text is in rhyme and the rhythms are good. It’s very fun to read out loud! A few of these animal groups I had already heard of, but some of them were new to me. It’s so interesting to learn about the weird names we call groups of animals.

The illustrations are so cute, and I loved the adorable designs for all the animals. The cartoony artwork is colorful and bright. Each page is full of rambunctious and energetic animals!
