Time for Bed, Little Owls!

Age Range: Under_5
Time for Bed, Little Owls!
This charming interactive bedtime book by German author Katja Alves, translated by Polly Lawson, is an ideal read-aloud for all those young children who are still wide awake and need some encouragement to go to sleep.
It’s time for bed for the ten little owls but they’re not sleepy. Speedy Owl, Tall Owl, Small Owl, Hooty Owl, Cheeky Owl, Wise Owl, Hoppity Owl, Snoozy Owl, Wide-awake Owl and Teeny Tiny Owl are all still full of energy. While Mama Owl has to leave on a rescue mission to take Hugo the bat home after he snuck home with the owls after their flying lesson, she asks for help from the reader to put her young brood to bed.
Maybe the little owls can be shown how to hop or to fly – “flap your arms to show them how” – to get them into bed. If that doesn’t work, singing them a soothing lullaby or clapping hands to get them to come out of hiding might be worth a try. When the little owls are finally ready for bed, don’t forget their beak brushing!
The humorous illustrations by Andrea Stegmaier are engaging and full of expression enhancing the interactive elements of the text.
There’s lots of fun to be had in getting involved in the little owls’ bedtime routine and it won’t be long before the young reader is ready for a good night’s sleep too.
A delightfully cosy book for bedtime.
