Owl can’t get to sleep in Pat Hutchins’s beloved Good-Night, Owl!

How is Owl supposed to sleep the day away with the bees buzzing, the woodpecker pecking, the doves cooing, and the squirrels crunching? But when night falls and everything is finally quiet, suddenly there’s a new sound—and it’s coming from Owl!

From author-illustrator Pat Hutchins, this cumulative bedtime story with a surprise ending will send little ones off to sleep with a smile.

Disappointed in the condition of the book

Disappointed in the condition of the book
Ad said it was in good condition - but the spine and the corners of the book were taped with an ugly, ragged, duct tape type taping and the cover was scared and dented. Pages are torn and taped. Also was very dirty. I'll keep the book to read to my great-grands (if I ever have any - LOL), but sure couldn't send this book off as a present for my new nephew and niece. I knew it wouldn't be in pristine condition, but I didn't realize it would be in such poor condition - definitely not good. Very disappointed, as this was a favorite book of my kids when they were much younger. Hard to find a good copy of this book as it is no longer in print.

My grandson loves this book! I used to read it to my kindergartners and it was always a hit.

Good-night, Owl was my daughter's first favorite book. We started reading it when she was 15 months old. The nocturnal owl tries to sleep all during the day, but is continually awakened by noisy birds, animals and insects. When darkness falls and all is quiet, owl screeches and wakes everyone up. The format is perfect for child participation in all the noisy sounds. It is fun! The art, appealing and strong in design, invites attention to details. Each new illustration has an additional figure and a variation in Owl's expression.

My children grew up loving this book so I had to get one for my grandson. He loves it! Also love the sturdiness.

I have collected quite a few of Pat Hutchins' books and this is a definite favorite. My son loves all of the different birds and their sounds. It's simple and such an adorable story with a great ending that always leaves my son laughing.

My daughter’s favorite book.
Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2013
Soft cover book.
If you have a child that likes animal noises (especially bird sounds) this is a great book. The various animals (sparrows, robins, crows, squirrels, etc) all make noises during the day. The poor owl can't sleep. The tables turn at night when he screetches and awakens them.
Cute drawings.
Fun repetition like the Squirrel cracked nuts crunch, crunch.
Bought two others as a gift.

I love the illustrative style of this book and my kids love story and mimicking all the different animal/bird sounds in it. It was one of my husband's favourites as a child so I made sure to get a copy for our kids and it's definitely become a staple in our home library.

Very nice. Amusing. Baby doesn’t pay much attention to it yet though. For a slightly older kid.

My son loves this book, he is fascinated with nature and loves to learn all the different birds. He is 2 and loves to join in with this book making all the different noises. I love that these are all British birds and animals and that he can see all of these in the flesh! If your little one has begun to love nature, this is a lovely book and so beautifully illustrated.
