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.

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".

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!!

A family favorite read-aloud! As Owl tries to sleep, his tree fills with noisy daytime creatures. Bees buzz, a squirrel cracks nuts, doves coo, a woodpecker pecks. Young children love to repeat the sounds of the various noisy neighbors in the rhythmic words of the book. When darkness finally falls, Owl springs a surprise!

My little girl loves this book. After reading it to her everynight for a week she can recite the entire book. The book teaches the individual calls of different birds and other animals. Great illustrations and big text. This book is one of our favorites. Happy nighttime reading!!

My son loves this book. We got this after reading the copy I read as a boy over at Grandma's house. He loves hearing the different noises of the birds and animals, and has learned quite a bit from it as well. Of course the surprise at the end is worth it as well!

My husband has had this book since his 3rd birthday in 1982. Now, he reads it to our little boy who loves it too. He just giggles away at the ending. Highly recommended!

My 2-year-old son loves this book! Beautiful book & lots of fun with all the animal noises. :)

My 3 year old loves this book. She makes all the sounds and we both make the loud owl screeches at the end of the story that wakes everyone up! Good-Night Owl is a favorite in our house!!

For a group of children or an individual, this book provides a look at nature in ways that are fun and educational. Animal noises, repetitive text and a surprise ending make this an enjoyable read-aloud book.
