Snuggle down with this beautiful picture book and join Little Owl as she flies off on a magical, star-filled night. With beautiful illustrations throughout from the hugely talented Migy Blanco and rhyming verse by Karl Newson that rolls off the tongue, this is a special, calming book for bedtime.

When her work is done, the sun finally rises to wake the animals from their slumbers . . . but for Little Owl, it's time for bed. Lilting rhyme and rhythm make this book perfect for settling children for a peaceful night's sleep, and stunning scenes show Little Owl flying all over the world. Little ones will love pointing out all the different animals!

Reviews

Little Owl's Bedtime is a charming tale about a small owls who is busy while other animals are fast asleep. This book will be a loved at bedtime as you see many animals tucked up for the night. This is also a great books for learning animal names. I like the free link to the smart phone audio book; we always love an audio book in our family. Great for car long journeys in the car. Beautiful pictures and a tale which will be enjoyed by the whole family.
