A lovely bedtime story which also makes a great addition to a foundation / key stage one classroom library. As you are reading the story together, encourage your child to join in with repeated parts of the story: “Wow! Said the owl.” Mummy and Ellie-Lara bot love sharing this book. Its a great book to explore colours and wildlife. We loved the repeating phrase..."Wow" could be one of our first words!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. I liked this book as it had a nice story to it whilst also providing a clear range of colours for baby to look at. The colours are mainly pastel which is a nice contrast to most childrens books. Useful that they also use the correct colour names rather than 'purple' to expand their knowledge and vocabulary. But despite the beauty of the daytime world, the little owl decides that the night-time stars are the most beautiful of all. WOW! Said the Owl is a touring exhibition for under-fives and their families, designed by Tim Hopgood and organised by The Young Art Explorers Association, with thanks to Arts Council England and Macmillan Children’s Books.
