Other - 09/29/2025 Irresistible repeating sounds and a flipped script on bedtime make this nocturnal animal story from Barrager (Fred’s Big Feelings) fun lights-out reading. Two plump, kernel-shaped owls awaken in a tree hollow, one cracking open a single bright yellow eye before the two soar into a pink-streaked night sky rendered in digitally finished crayon and watercolor. With reiterative calls of "Whooo?" and rhyming variations (about a family of skunks, "Pew! Pew!"), the two greet other night animals making their rounds. Spotting one long-snouted critter hanging from a tree with the glowing eyes of young on her back, they call, "Ooh! Whooo?/ Someone new?/ A mama possum-/ and babies, too!" A rosy-fingered dawn signals the end of the outing, and as a sprawling spiderweb glistens "bright with dew," the owls retreat back to their home, ready for a good day’s sleep. Like the avian duo, other creatures appear in almost silhouetted, minimally detailed shapes throughout, heightening readers’ sense of being let in on nighttime’s secret world. Ages 4-8.
