A Guide Book to the Great Tree

Reading is very slow on this book comparied to the series. What is it best for is learning all about the different owls of the tree, celebrations and other artifacts that make the series tie together. It is more like reading a dictionary of who's who. It is interesting but very technical for the young reader.

Good children's literature

I bought the set for my grandson. He loves these books. This is the one that got the most excited comment because it is the guide book.

A great resource for Ga'Hoolians everywhere!

I picked this book up from my local bookstore, expecting more of a reference book than a story book, and it far surpassed my expectations. While still full of interesting facts such as how the chaws are organized and what they teach, it also has short stories about many of the characters readers of the Guardians of Ga'Hoole will have become familiar with through the series. I had hoped to start a Guardians of Ga'Hoole roleplaying game, and this will be perfect in helping me introduce my gaming friends to the Hoolian world. If you like companion books, this is the book for you. As short as it is for an older reader, it is a book I could read again and again.
