Owls in the Family, by Farley Mowat

(Paperback, 91 pages, first published in 1961)

Every child needs to have a pet. No one could argue with that.
 
But what happens when your pet is an owl, and your owl is terrorizing the neighbourhood?
 
In Farley Mowat’s exciting children’s story, a young boy’s pet menagerie—which includes crows, magpies, gophers and a dog—grows out of control with the addition of two cantankerous pet owls. The story of how Wol and Weeps turn the whole town upside down is warm, funny, and bursting with adventure and suspense.
