Description

This cozy and hilarious interactive picture book asks YOU to help put ten adorable little owls to bed!

It's bedtime for the little owls� but they're not tired! Mama Owl asks for your help to get Speedy Owl, Tall Owl, Small Owl, Hooty Owl, Cheeky Owl, Wise Owl, Hoppity Owl, Snoozy Owl, Wide-awake Owl and Teeny Tiny Owl to sleep. Can you FLAP your arms and HOP around to show the little owls how to get tired, or SING the restless owls a soothing lullaby? And don't forget beak brushing!

This engaging read-aloud book gets children involved in in the little owls' bedtime routine as they are asked to clap, call, count and more. Grown-ups will smile wryly as before long their little ones will be ready for a good night's sleep too.

Critical Reviews

'Bedtime cues from this woodland flock will have little ones snoozing, too... The interactive elements are well balanced by Alves' soothing tone and Stegmaier's cozy depiction of the owls' home.'--Kirkus Reviews

'While not the quietest bedtime story, the cozy illustrations are lovely, the interactive elements will make for a fun read aloud, and the little owls' nighttime routine may reflect a child's own.'--Youth Services Book Review

Praise for Andrea Stegmaier:

'Delightful illustrations.' --Kirkus Reviews on One Christmas in Our Building
