Because of the misunderstandings of the animals and a sequential chain of events, an owlet gets killed. The animals call a council meeting to see who is guilty, and each animal describes his reaction. This is a great book to use for teaching about listening, because of the moral of the story and also the use of onomatopoeia. It is also a good book to use for sequencing and retelling events in a story.
