Summary
Owl moon: On a winter's night under a full moon, a father and daughter trek into the woods to see the Great Horned Owl. Mirette on the high wire: Mirette learns tightrope walking from Monsieur Bellini, a guest in her mother's boarding house, not knowing that he is a celebrated tightrope artist who has withdrawn from performing because of fear. Drummer Hoff: Told in lively folk verse, several soldiers each bring a different part for a cannon, but only one of them gets to fire it off!
