WOW! Said the Owl
by Tim Hopgood
Everyone knows that owls are nocturnal but one curious little owl decides to take a long nap at night so she can stay awake during the day.
What she sees, from the warm, pink glow of dawn through to a day filled with the bright colours of green leaves, blue sky, grey clouds and, finally, a stunning rainbow, makes her exclaim 'WOW!'.
But despite the beauty of the daytime world, the little owl decides that the night-time stars are the most beautiful of all.
Simple text and an endearing character experiencing colour for the first time give an original slant to a first colours book.

What you thought
Loved this book about the owl who stayed awake all day and saw the beauties of creation as the colours changed from pink dawn to dark night. Helps children learn to recognise colours while being enchanted with the story.
