Give a Hoot!

I finally finished my latest book on the reading list. Hoot by Carl Hiaasen.

This was suggested to me by Aaron as this is one he reads to his kids. He thought it would be right up my tree-hugging alley. It was. I thought it was very cute and very inspirational. Proof positive that you don't have to be an adult to make a difference. On the contrary, I would even go as far as to say that most adults are too busy to be bothered by such trivia things as the environment and protecting a little band of owls.

This book was a great story about a kid who stumbles upon a construction site that happens to be home to an endangered type of burrowing owl. The story is a shining example of how a little bit of research can yield significant results that in the end can alter a decision. A good message.

Now, we'll have to rent the movie...
