It's evening in the forest and Little Owl wakes up from his day-long sleep to watch his friends enjoying the night. Hedgehog sniffs for mushrooms, Skunk nibbles at berries, Frog croaks, and Cricket sings. A full moon rises and Little Owl can't understand why anyone would want to miss it. Could the daytime be nearly as wonderful? Mama Owl begins to describe it to him, but as the sun comes up, Little Owl falls fast asleep.

Putting a twist on the bedtime book, Little Owl's Night is sure to comfort any child with a curiosity about the night.

Review

Praise for LITTLE OWL’S NIGHT by Divya Srinivasan:

"This debut picture book gets it all just right. The story, while familiar, is executed deftly and with heart, and the crisp graphic elements of the artwork juxtapose well against the pretty prose." --Booklist, starred review

"The story's chief virtue is its graceful, balletic prose... It's a provocative inversion of the classic bedtime story, and a solid first outing. Srinivasan's message is that night is a delightful place, and that's useful knowledge for small children." -- Publisher's Weekly

"A graceful bedtime story celebrates the beauty found in night... Hold on to Little Owl's tail feathers and soar." -- Kirkus Reviews

"This exceptional first book by Srinivasan, a talented illustrator... follows Little Owl during his nighttime explorations... this bedtime tale may even convert children who are afraid of the dark into adventuresome night owls" --New York Times Book Review

"This is the most visually and verbally gorgeous picture book of the year... Simple, dazzling - and simply dazzling." --The Boston Globe

A book you'll enjoy reading to your little one!

ByLacie Kenneron January 16, 2016

Format: Board book

This is one of my 2 year old's favorite bedtime books.
Well written with beautiful artwork; the wording is not childish at all, it introduces many advanced vocabulary words (waddle, gnawed, hovered, fluttered, gazing, rustling, gliding, etc), as well as a variety of animals (possum, hedgehog, skunk, beaver, raccoon, moths, cricket, bats, etc).
It has sturdy pages and it's the perfect size for her little hands to flip through on her own too.
We also own Little Owl's Colors & 123; and we can't wait until Little Owl's day is released as a board book, we will definitely be purchasing it to add to her collection!

Wonderful in every sense.

ByPopson September 8, 2011

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

This book is a treasure!

Children will love the characters, the story and the breathtaking illustrations. The style is unlike anything else I've seen, yet it somehow feels familiar at the same time. The story is fun and accessible without being overly simple; there's no baby talk in this book. It's beautiful and poetic, and combined with those adorable animals makes for a unique and memorable reading experience with your child. Wait until you see the bats!

I don't know why we haven't seen any other books from this author before, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that there are more to come. The children's book world needs more stuff like this!

I've already given several copies as gifts, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive -- from kids and parents alike. Everyone is captivated from the first page.

Trust me. Get this book. Get several copies. You'll thank me later.

Beautiful language, captivating illustrations - a real winner

ByRevieweron January 21, 2015

Format: Board bookVerified Purchase

We ordered this book a few months ago on the recommendation of Lucie's List. We'd never heard of it but Meg hasn't ever steered us wrong. Our toddler was around 14 months at the time and _loved_ it. Still does. When we first got it, he had us read it over and over and over. Now he reads it with us, saying animal names. I fell in love with some of the language in the book. "Spiderwebs turn to silver threads" and the colors of the sunrise read aloud always seems to make me peaceful and happy. It's just beautiful. Wonderful addition to any child's library.

Beautiful drawings, great story! Buying it the second time!

ByT. Leon November 2, 2015

Format: Board bookVerified Purchase

Very cute story. I love that this is very different than other "goodnight" books. It's a different perspective of what activities goes on during night time, and a wonderful way of teaching kids nocturnal animals. Most bed time stories talk about activities before bedtime. This one talks about the activities that goes on at night, and when the sun comes up, that's when the baby owl goes to sleep. I like the size of the book, not too small, and not too big. I love the colors and the artwork. It's just beautiful work! I also liked that most of the pages are black or dark, so when you are reading, it makes you kind of sleepy because it's dark.. although the artwork and colors of the animals stand out.. but not in a bad way.. not obnoxious or loud. If I were to knit pick a little bit.. The only surprising thing was the artwork on the last page was "day time", and it was a little bright for me. Let's say you're reading the whole story, and you're getting sleepy.. that last page.. because it has a white background (daytime), it kind of wakes you up. If I were to give feedback to the artist, I would just make this last page a little darker.. like it's ABOUT to become day time.. but not yet daytime. This way, when you are reading for your child and she's about to fall asleep, she doesn't get woken up by the brightness of the last page. :) This was a great buy for a gift for a friend's daughter. Now I will buy it again for my own daughter.

Sweet story that will enchant for a very long time.

ByJuliannaon August 29, 2015

Format: Board bookVerified Purchase

PERFECT! My Grand Daughter got this as a second B-day gift and my daughter says she loves it. They live in a different country than I do so I rely on other reviews to find just the right books. This book has great reviews and I just want to ad one more. The story is so sweet and the book is very sturdy for all the loving abuse a two year old can dish out. The pictures are so pretty and will keep your little one interested for a long time to come.

If you are iffy on this do not be, it is a beautiful book and I feel certain your little person will love it as much as mine did.
Shipped fast and was a thoughtful gift.

Great illustrations, but a little disapointed.

ByOregon Willamette Valley Girlon August 19, 2017

Format: Board bookVerified Purchase

I really loved the illustrations inside this book and this was a great price (vs target) but the story is a little boring, (an owl exploring the night then goes to sleep) and my daughter didn't seem interested in the pictures, (vs "pout pout fish" that she keeps bringing to me over and over to read). Im not sure why this one didn't catch her eye.

A sweet, surprising bedtime (or daytime!) book

ByAllisonon September 28, 2015

Format: Board bookVerified Purchase

This is a beautiful kids book, with amazing, high-contrast illustrations and a touching, almost twist-ending bedtime theme. The owl sees all of the things in the night, and by the end, dawn comes, and the owl is fast asleep. It captured my infant's attention the whole way through, and I'm sure she'll love it into toddlerhood and beyond. My baby loves the rich illustrations and loves to touch the board book.

We loved it so much, we've ordered two more little owl books, and we'll probably buy more from Divya Srinivasan. I love that there's continuity in the series.
