My son adored this book so much that we still have his original board book and he is almost 10. We give it to every new little person that is on the way into this world - in fact, I popped on here to grab it for a teacher about to head out to have her baby. I was extremely surprised to see ONE STAR reviews for this book which is why I am leaving my own FIVE STAR review. I wish I could respond to other reviewers directly, but there are a few that I will address here.
One person claims that there are errant quotation marks, but in fact there are not. The sentence I'm assuming is the one in question is simple split up on the page so as not to interrupt the picture.
Another states that Little Owl SCREAMS mommy and this has caused her child to do the same. Um. Okay. Little Owl never screams anything. There is no screaming in this book. It is a peaceful and calm little story. The only thing I can find is: "Mama," Little Owl whispered, "tell me again how the night ends." I'm glad folks are reading to their children, as this gives all an opportunity to work on reading comprehension.
Someone else states that there is no flow and there is no point to the story. What a shame you missed it. I guess books that don't rhyme don't work for you? Not sure what the problem is.
Sorry. I'm done being terse. This book is sweet. My son and I enjoyed having a little book that mentions animals and their activities that are slightly out of the ordinary for standard kids books. Sure my kid loves kitties and puppies and lions and tigers, but this book mentions bats and opossums, hedgehogs and skunks. There is a neat little snail and pretty moths. It's about nighttime creature activities that little kids don't see. It's cute and the pictures are clear and bold. I've probably bought this book five times at this point.

Truly awesome book for role play.I’ve created my 3 and 2 year old daughters a classroom at our house. We’re currently doing a Blossom&Root Early Learning Vol.1. Each week, we have a book set out on top of our Montessori shelves. For this week, this book is the book of the week. I have dressed up both my daughter in an explorer outfit with accessories for an animal hunt; binocular, compass, etc as seen on the top portion of the shelves. Within the book, it mentions possums, hedgehogs, ants, raccoons, beavers, moths, bear, fox, frog, bats, and a few more. It also mentions different sounds. This is cool because the kids’ imagination to do a role play in relation to this book has no limit as the content is very much open ended for little thinkers. My daughters enjoyed this book very very much. Certainly a must buy!
