Opis

This peek-through picture book featuring an owl and his friends is the perfect spring-time tale

New York Public Library's 100 Best Books for Kids 2016

Through a hole in the book's cover, an owl invites you inside to meet a majestic tree and all its forest inhabitants during the changing seasons. With clever peekaboo holes throughout, each page reveals a new set of animals playing and living in the tree--baby bears frolicking in the spring, bees buzzing around apples in the summer, squirrels storing nuts in the fall, and finally the lone owl keeping warm during the winter chill--until another year begins. . . .

Children will love seeing a new set of animals appear and then disappear as each page is turned, and along the way they'll learn about the seasons and how a forest and its inhabitants change throughout the year.

And look for its companion books, Bee and The Twelve Days of Christmas, in the same Peek-Through Picture Book series
