Muffin Tin Monday- Owl Moon Lunch

By

Owl Moon is one of my favorite wintertime tales. Jane Yolen does a wonderful job involving the reader into a hunt for owls one cold winter night. The pictures by John Schoenherr draw you in and make you want to go on your own owl hunt. JDaniel is now dying to search the backyard in the dark to look for owls.

I decided to create an Owl Moon muffin tin meal for JDaniel and see if he could find the images I was trying to represent in the book while we ate.

There was a cheese moon, yogurt with tiny spoon like footprints, a turkey dog, Christmas fruitcake with the darkest shadows you have ever seen, milk representing snow whiter that milk from a cereal bowl, and finally a sandwich owl. Most of the food was served in silver icicle like muffin cups.
Here is a better shot of the footprints.
He did a pretty good job of finding things mostly though he just wants to go owling. It is snowing here is South Carolina today. We may have to go out at dust, trample through the snow and look for owls.

  2. I adore that book and you really made this so cute!

    I think we’re expecting a wintry mix here today. I’d rather have snow!

  7. I love this book and think I will get it out and read it to Ben.. Owls are so cool and this time of year they are mating.. so you will hear them hoot and it sounds like they are saying “Who cooks for you” Who cooks for you all”… Love it~!~!
    Have a great and tiggeriffic day~! ta ta for now from Iowa…:)

  8. That book is great. We love it. There is a song that goes with that book too; the sign language for it is really fun.
    What a very creative muffin tin!

  9. We haven’t read that book. Wish we had it – yesterday Pierce was painting a wooden owl mask we found in the $1 bin and we were having a huge discussion about owls. That book would’ve fit right in!

  11. We love that book at our house! I don’t know why but we always read it when we build a tent in the living room. The boys always request Owl Moon and Zen Shorts for the tent. What a great meal. I think I may copy it sometime. Thanks for the great idea.

  13. So fun – we haven’t read that book – looks like we need to! I love lunches with books – they are so fun!

  20. Love the owl! BTW the blossoms are really easy to make. Fold a piece of turkey over and then cut slits on the along the folded side. Then you just roll the turkey tightly and cut off some of the side without the slits. Does that make sense? LOL

  22. We love Owl Moon…just re-read it this week! I love the foot tracks in the “snow”….great idea!

  23. NEAT! I am always so impressed with the moms who plan out meals so well. I’m lucky that I get crafts and books going in sync!

  30. I always LOVED Owl Moon – it’s been around for awhile now! And your coordinating muffin tin meal is great. The sandwich owl is too cute!
