This book is about a teacher telling a story in his class about Noah the Curious Little Boy. Mr. Owl taught in a school just like any other school. His story about Noah will introduce some of the questions kids might have regarding their surroundings, like why does it rain, where do rivers come from, why people cannot fly, the difference between birds and humans, what our pets do while we are not home-and the tough one-why we cannot see the stars during daytime. This story is neatly woven together with modern-day classroom storytelling by Mr. Owl, and Noah's medieval time background and his curiosity, sending him on a trail of adventure and knowledge finding.
