A charming book by the author of Early Bird. I am planning on buying additional copies for my young great-nephew, who will be reading soon. I think he will enjoy them, as he loves animals. The artwork is beautiful, and I can see kids wanting this read to them over and over again.
Toni Yuly hits home again with this sweet companion to her first book, EARLY BIRD. Little Night Owl is on an auditory quest to find his mother. He navigates through his rich evening landscape, listening and sorting through all the sounds of the night until he hears the "nicest sound of all." NIGHT OWL is is wonderful read-to for any toddler!
Our 8-month old son loves loves LOVES this book, it's his very favorite above all others right now. He picks it out of his little basket of books every night, sits in his dad's lap, and smiles with delight as he helps turn the pages. It's the cutest thing ever. We do the voices—the toot toot for the train and the chirp chirp for the cricket, etc—culminating in the arrival of Mommy Owl, "the nicest sound of all." Half the time he wants to hear it again, even when he's exhausted and practically falling asleep on the book.I'm usually very critical of the illustrations in children's books, and while this simple style would never have caught my eye, I think its very simplicity is what draws my son in and keeps him coming back. I'm buying this for every baby I know now!
Night Owl is a lovely little story and a perfect choice for toddler story time. The color palette evokes the night-time world perfectly, and the large, bold line characters exude charm. Night Owl goes in search for his mother, encountering a variety of night noises. From the toot of the train whistle to the croak of a toad, there are plenty of opportunities for the story reader to have fun with sound. The repetitive text will have any story time audience answering you when little owl keeps asking if this is his mother.Much like this author's Early Bird, this book is a gift for anyone looking for a good toddler read. This is a must have for any story time collection, or for any parent wishing to provide their new story listener with a fun little introduction to sounds and a cute first look at a fascinating creature.
