It’s time we flew.
The night is new – so much to do.
Whooo is still awake?
As the moon rises and the stars twinkle, two little owls take flight into moonlit woods. With a joyful "Whooo? Whooo?" they explore the night, meeting nocturnal friends along the way. From fluttering moths and playful raccoons to creeping black cats and trotting skunks, each page turn introduces readers to a new surprise.
Rhythmic, lyrical text and charming illustrations make this a fun read-aloud for young readers who are curious about the nighttime world. By the time dawn breaks and spiderwebs glisten with dew, everyone will be ready to yawn, coo, and snuggle up for a cozy sleep.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Irresistible repeating sounds and a flipped script on bedtime make this nocturnal animal story from Barrager (Fred's Big Feelings) fun lights-out reading. Two plump, kernel-shaped owls awaken in a tree hollow, one cracking open a single bright yellow eye before the two soar into a pink-streaked night sky rendered in digitally finished crayon and watercolor. With reiterative calls of "Whooo?" and rhyming variations (about a family of skunks, "Pew! Pew!"), the two greet other night animals making their rounds. Spotting one long-snouted critter hanging from a tree with the glowing eyes of young on her back, they call, "Ooh! Whooo?/ Someone new?/ A mama possum—/ and babies, too!" A rosy-fingered dawn signals the end of the outing, and as a sprawling spiderweb glistens "bright with dew," the owls retreat back to their home, ready for a good day's sleep. Like the avian duo, other creatures appear in almost silhouetted, minimally detailed shapes throughout, heightening readers' sense of being let in on nighttime's secret world. Ages 4–8.
