At night, when we are feeling tired and ready for bed, owls are just waking up.

When the night-time comes around again, the stars above her head are still the most beautiful sight of all. Preschoolers will love joining in with the WOWs in this warm and simple story, and a final activity spread about colours makes this book perfect for sharing together at story time. Little ones can find plenty more WOW moments in WOW! It's Night-Time.
