Owly is one of few 157-page books on the market that can be read in 10 minutes.
But go ahead and take your time.
While this sweet little black-and-white series contains no dialogue, its images speak volumes.
The title character, Owly —a kindly owl that is happiest when making others happy — is easily endearing and creator Andy Runton does a fine job of eschewing dialogue to tell simple stories.
So go ahead and savour each page. And if you do finish in 10 minutes, do yourself a favour and read it again.
