Hootworthy or Not?
🦉 Owl Be Reading Review: All About The Commonwealth by Anita Ganeri 📚 Hoot Factor – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book gave me a good introduction to the Commonwealth and helped me understand which countries are part of it and how it all started. I liked learning about the Commonwealth Games and the Queen’s role too. It was interesting, but I wanted a bit more detail, especially about what each country is like. 🎨 Owl-some Illustrations – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The pictures were colourful and helped show where the countries are. I liked the world map and flags, but I think more photos or real-life examples would have helped it feel more complete. 💡 Little Owl’s Takeaway – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Commonwealth connects lots of different countries through history and teamwork. It’s like a big international club! 💬 Hoot or Boot? – 4/5 Hoots – Hoot! I learned a lot, but I wish it went a bit deeper. It’s great if you’re just starting to learn about the Commonwealth.
