Reviews of Wow! Said The Owl

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. 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! At night, when we are feeling tired and ready for bed, owls are just waking up. But one curious little owl decides to stay awake all day, instead of all night, and discovers a world bursting with colour! Yet when the night-time comes around again, the stars above her head are still the most beautiful of all. Secondary Year 6 leavers - Covid-safe transition activities and ideas It's been a chaotic year but Year 6 children still deserve the best ending to their primary journey I spy colours: Go outside to your garden or an outside space. Look around and play ‘I spy colours’, where one person says “I spy with my little eye, something blue.” Your child has to guess what it is. Try it with other colours.

really enjoy reading this to my little girl, she giggles whenever i say "WOW said the owl" a lovely bedtime 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. WOW! It’s Night-time is the sequel to the award winning picture book WOW! Said the Owl written and illustrated by Tim Hopgood. Really like this book, learning colours and great pictures from day to night. Kept my 2 year old very interested and learning her colours. As you are reading the story together, encourage your child to join in with repeated parts of the story: “Wow! Said the owl.”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!'. Lovely visual book. JJ loved the repetition in the book I really emphasised the wow he loves it. I know the book off by heart I've read it that much. Lovely story From the warm, pink glow of dawn through to a day filled with the bright colours of green leaves, blue sky, white clouds and, finally, a stunning rainbow — ‘WOW!’. But despite the beauty of the daytime world, the little owl decides that the night-time stars are the most beautiful of all.
