Little Owl's Night

Srinivasan, Divya. (2011). Little owl's night.  New York: Penguin Group.

Okay, I'll admit it!  I bought the book because I fell in love with the adorable cover and I just adore owls.  I didn't even browse through the book.  NOPE!  Didn't even flip through or skim the pages.  I bought it just because of the cover...and that's okay!  The cover of the book did not let me down.  This book is sweet and there's something simply whimsical about it. 

Owl takes us on a journey through the beauty of night.  We are introduced to many of his nocturnal friends such as raccoon and hedgehog.  He wants to share the night with Bear, but Bear does not wake up. When it begins to get late and it's Little Owl's bedtime, he asks his mama, "...tell me again how night ends."  She tells him, "The moon and stars fade to ghosts," and "Moonflowers close and morning glories open..." 

Beautiful book that kids will enjoy again and again while they're lulled to sleep.
