Little Owl

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

When Little Owl falls from his nest and opens his eyes for the very first time, he has one big question. Whooooo? Whoooo? Whoooo am I?

Little Owl nibbles on a blossom with a hungry sugar glider, hangs upside down with the bats in the branches, and struts on the ground like the cranky cockatoo. But at the end of the day, Little Owl still isn't sure who he is.

Until from out of the darkness comes a distant Whoooo. Whoooo. Whoooo.

This simple repetitive text by Phillip Gwynne, accompanied by the sumptuous illustrations of Sandy Okalyi, will be a favourite for early readers.
