A little owl stays up late, and marvels at all the colors of the daytime that she has been missing in her nocturnal life. This is really a book geared towards helping kids learn colors, but I liked it because of the enthusiasm the owl shows towards all of the outdoors, greeting each sight with a "wow!" I also liked that it showed the how many colors you can experience from the same spot throughout the course of day. It talks about the "warm and wonderful pink" of a morning sky, or the white fluffy clouds you see in a bright blue sky. This book has made my 3 year old stop and notice nature with wonder, pointing out sky colors to me and saying "just like the owl saw!" The text is pretty simple, so this would be good for younger than 3 as well. (spoiler alert)This curious little owl decides to sleep through the night to stay awake the next day to see what the fuss is all about ‘day.’ It finds day surprising, color after color (yellow sun, green trees, blue skies, and you’ll be surprised what other colors the author elaborated). When night returns, the owl sees it with a new light and equal wonders. Hopgood made WOW a book of color, curiousity, and bewilderment in just one book —that’s too good to be true.
What do You think about Wow! Said The Owl (2009)?
A book that teaches on colours by showing how the beauty of nature changes as the day goes by.

My boys adored this book around the age of 2, and still love "reading" it on their own today.
