Review

When Cat the cat announces it is time to sleep all her animal friends comply till she encounters the Owl. Once the animals are in their sleeping bags Owl is left alone wishing someone was awake to play. Children will identity with specific animals in the tale; some toddlers may see their own tendency to be night owls.

The background colors are an interesting dark shade of blue with a narrow band of brown. Although these are not the most attractive colors they do work well on the last two page spreads where half the pages become brown and stars dot the blue areas.

A simplistic board book that toddlers will enjoy. I wonder why the title was changed when the board book editions were published.

Overall Book Score: good
