It's not fair! All Little Owl wants is to go to bed at a reasonable hour, like his friends do. But no . . . Mama and Papa say little owls have to stay up late and play. So Little Owl spends all night jumping on his bed, playing on the jungle gym, and doing tricks on his skateboard—but he's hooting mad about it! Children who have a hard time going to bed will love this fun twist on the universal dilemma.

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming story
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2011

The tables are turned in this story about a little owl who wants to go to bed early, like his other forest friends. His parents remind him that owls stay up late, that's the way it is. Little Hoot must stay up and play. The children who I read this to were in on the joke, and enjoyed the story of how Little Hoot spent his time before he could go to sleep. Wonderful illustrations, love this book.

A cute story for young children. Kids love the irony (even if they don't know that word yet) of a little owl who doesn't want to stay up and play, he wants to go to bed like everyone else. Adorable illustrations and giggles for the whole family or classroom

This kids book puts a little twist on bedtime. It is simply written, has an engaging story line and simple yet cute illustrations. I like this book and so does my 18 month old. It's fun to read and since it ends on a sleepy note is perfect for bedtime. I plan on getting all of the books from this author.

All three of my kids (4, 6, 8) enjoyed this book. It is a very cute story (tho the graphics at the end need to be tweaked in the Kindle version... you can see the filenames of the images below the graphic -- not a big deal but annoying nonetheless).

5.0 out of 5 stars A real "hoot"
Reviewed in the United States on May 8, 2008
Verified Purchase
Little Hoot is a sequel of sorts to Little Pea (a pea who has to eat candy in order to get a veggie dessert), only this time, it is an owl who wants to go bed early like all of his friends but has to stay up late so he can "grow up to be a wise owl". This is another "reverse psychology" story with charming illustrations by Jen Corace, and I especially loved the language in this one i.e. "I don't give a hoot what time your friends go to bed. In this family, we go to bed late. Rules of the roost." Fun for all those little "night owls" you know.

I bought this book since my 4-year-old son is obsessed with owls. It is a really nice story, but I wish the illustrations were better. The owls are okay---but don't really clearly look like owls.

I ordered this book because the title intrigued me. I have young grandchildren and great grandchildren who love for me to read to them. This little book is perfect. The first time I read it to my granddaughter, she just "NEEDED" to hear it three times before her mother insisted they must go home. A real winner for together time.
