I received book for review.  The opinions within this post are of my own and I was not influenced in any way.  Please do your own research before purchasing products or using services.  Your opinions and results may differ.

Rebecca, the red-tailed hawk, is not afraid of ghosts! One night, she bravely ventures into the barn to meet the famous ghost of Donley Farm. But when she finally meets him, Rebecca is surprised to discover that this “ghost” is much more familiar than she’d expected. Join Rebecca as she stays up late to talk with her new friend and find out what they have in common and how they are different.

My Review:

This book, with appealing illustrations, tells the tale of a red-tailed hawk who has heard stories of a ghost living on a farm.  Not afraid, the hawk sets out to explore.  What she finds is not really a ghost; it's a barn owl named Bernard.  The two then learn more about each other and how they're so much alike, yet so different. 

The Ghost of Donley Farm does a great job of telling a story while also educating children on the similarities and differences between a hawk and an owl.  The "For Creative Minds" section in the back of the book has lessons on raptor diets, the difference between diurnal and nocturnal, raptor adaptations, and raptor fun facts.

The Ghost of Donley Farm is a 2015 release from Arbordale Publishing.
