A surprise ending adds to the read-aloud fun. ·In addition to the irresistibly cute owls, each spread includes other funny things for kids to spot, from "hidden" treats to a sneaky snail ·Rhyming text makes this a great read-aloud while repetition encourages early reading skills ·Story closes with a birthday party scene for all the owls Praise for Frann's previous book, Hot Dog, Cold Dog: "Preston-Gannon's simple words will have children reading along in no time. The instant I started to read the story to my son I started to do it with a sing-song rhythm and continue to do so every time I read it. The simple text and rhyming will instantly draw your child in and have them wanting you to read it over and over again!" - Pawing Through Books "This larger format board book is a bright and bold delight. Each spread shows a dog but simple opposites (new dog, old dog) become increasingly surprising and more inventive with each turn of the page." - Books For Keeps
