Another very short book for helping younger readers learn to read, with a very basic story about how owls are (mostly) awake at night, and Mother Owl goes hunting for food to feed the baby owls. It's not terribly challenging, and I'm not really a fan of the art style; for one thing, the beak on the baby owl on the cover doesn't look like it would be able to close—poor thing!

Okay read, but nothing particularly memorable—probably a large reason so many of these very short books made it into the local free library.

This book introduces nocturnal animals by focusing on what owls get up to at night. It is geared to a beginner reader and readers will be able to follow a mother owl finding food for her babies. Overall a good book, but never introduces the term "nocturnal."

What a sweet book for emerging readers of any age. ❤️

This book tells us that owls are nocturnal animals (nighttime birds for younger children). Good Base for early readers and gets them introduced and interested in a new topic they could continue in their reading to keep them focused and learning about new topics.

It makes me want to learn more about owls.

A sweet, simple board book for young kids. Told from the baby owl's point of view.
