WOW! Said the Owl: A First Book of Colours

Product Information

As you are reading the story together, encourage your child to join in with repeated parts of the story: “Wow! Said the owl.” This book was given to my daughter, who was 16 months at the time. I thought it might be too old for her but she brings it to me every day saying 'WOW'. She absolutely loves it. My little girl loves this book, especially when we do the 'wow'. She seems to enjoy the different colours and when the owl is sleeping we do our quiet voices.

What she sees, from the warm, pink glow of dawn through to a day filled with the bright colours of green leaves, blue sky, grey clouds and, finally, a stunning rainbow, makes her exclaim 'WOW!'. Think of different words to describe colours, using ideas from the story (e.g. warm and wonderful pink, bright blue). One morning in a farmyard a spider begins to spin a web. All the animals try to persuade her to stop but she doesn't answer any of them; she is too busy spinning her web. Loved this book about the owl who stayed awake all day and saw the beauties of creation as the colours changed from pink dawn to dark night. Helps children learn to recognise colours while being enchanted with the story. From the warm, pink glow of dawn through to a day filled with the bright colours of green leaves, blue sky, white clouds and, finally, a stunning rainbow – ‘WOW!’ But despite the beauty of the daytime world, the little owl decides that the night-time stars are the most beautiful of all.

Here's the story of a curious little owl determined to see what the world looks like during the day. And what does she discover? A wow-worthy symphony of colors―from red butterflies to orange flowers, from white clouds to green leaves.
