    "Oliver the Owl" an endearing story of a friendly owl who pursues his dream of opening a cafe. Oliver has quickly became a favorite in our household as my child loves making the recipes in the back. It’s rare to find a book that engages young readers beyond the story, yet this one does just that!

    What a delightful tale about an adorable owl who has a passion to share his love of cooking. This is a touching story of whimsical adorable woodland friends who come together to the treehouse. The illustrations are vibrant, colorful and captivating. The action phrases are catchy and fun. Having a personal connection to the author, the tribute to her father was a heartfelt touch leaving me yearning for another story. My readers are young adults who wanted to try the recipes in the back of the book. I can't wait to see what Rayna cooks up in her next adventure.

    Oliver the Owl is seriously adorable! The illustrations are super cute, and the story totally hooked my kids from the start. They keep asking to read it to them over and over, which is always a good sign! Plus, the kids are loving the recipes in the back—they’re easy for them to make, and they're keeping them entertained. If you're looking for something that's both entertaining and a little educational for your kids, definitely check this out!

  • AWESOME!!!

    The wording is so fun and truly we enjoyed reading this out loud together, my hyperactive son was 100% focused on it. We love that there are actual recipes to get kids involved in the kitchen at the end and even a little certificate that the kids can feel excited and proud about once they accomplish it. The pictures are so incredibly beautiful, I could just stare at them. Awesome job, can’t wait to purchase more books from the author!

  • Amazing family book

    A story full of color and poetry with lots of interactions on every page. Small children would find this book colorful and playful with the food recipes and characters. And big kids like my daughter can love the poetry and story. We haven’t read a book like this in a long time that focuses on challenging kids and delivering a positive message in this case loving food and following your passion. I loved how the book is consistent and follows through the plot. The recipes are a plus so definitely plan on making some snacks.

  • Wonderful children’s book

    I have four year old girls who love reading. I happen to be in the foodservice industry so finding a children’s book that relates to me is something special and a bit rare. I had a chance to read to my kids about a subject that lets them connect with my work. That was pretty cool.

    At the end of the book are some recipes and pictures of the food that my kids really liked and wanted to try. If you’re looking for a fun book for kids that teaches them a bit about cooking, this is the one for you!

    I bought this book for my niece, and it’s so cute! We love the rhymes and the forest critters. It’s great that it’s interactive with recipes in the back, she is too young right now, but we look forward to cooking them together someday. It’s a short book that keeps kids’ attention, but also has a sweet story.
