Book Description

Release date: April 30, 1990 | Age Range: 3 and up

Owl couldn't sleep -- not while the bees were buzzing, the crows croaking, the starlings chittering, and the jays creaming. Every time there seemed to be some peace and quite, someone else landed in the hollow tree and woke Owl up again. Would Owl ever get any rest?

Pat Hutchins's simple, cumulative story ends with a surprising twist that will send children off to sleep laughing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful graphics with a fun story about a sleepy owl. May 24, 1999

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

With a toddler who is obsessed with owls, I found this a perfect book to read with her at bedtime. Not only does she enjoy seeing the owl on each page but the predicament he is in delights her. She has learned the names and sounds of other birds/animals/insects too! A very nice ending makes this a perfect book for 18 mo. and up.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful story! September 4, 2004

By Reader Mom

Format:Paperback

This is one of our favorite books. My 2 and 3 year old love the various birds and noises they make (great learning tool), the repetition makes it easy to remember. The story is lots of fun. The kids get a big kick out of the ending too! After a few reads, we can basically recite the book and often re-tell the story to ourselves while driving in the car. I would highly recommend this book for any family with little "owls".

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Bedtime Reading August 22, 2003

By J. Clark

Format:Hardcover

I bought this book for my 3-year old. We checked it out at the library and after reading it every night for a week she could recite the entire book. She didn't want to return it so I bought it for her. Pat Hutchins is a great childrens author. The pictures are well illustrated and colorful. Don't worry about owl, he gets the last hoot in the end. Happy reading!!
