Product Description

▼▲

Little Owl spends his nights flying around and gazing up at the moon and the stars. He often watches other nocturnal going about their business and other animals snoozing the night away. He wonders what happens when the night ends and his mother softly explains the transition from night into day with poetic prose as Little Owl drifts off to sleep---before the morning comes! This adorable board book is just the right size for small hands and makes for a wonderful bedtime story.

Publisher's Description

▼▲

In this sweet and soothing twist on bedtime, Little Owl learns about nocturnal animals and their nighttime habits!

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.

With gentle text and engaging illustrations, Little Owl's Night is sure to comfort any child with a curiosity about the night.

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
