Wake up to a world of colour! At night, when we are feeling tired and ready for bed, owls are just waking up. But this curious little owl decides to stay awake all day, instead of all night, and discovers a world bursting with colour! But when the night-time comes around again, the stars above her head are still the most beautiful of all.
Just the right blend of vivid illustration and engaging text. * Daily Mail *
