Review: Little Hoot & Little Oink

Posted by Karin | 0 comments

From the creators of Little Pea come Little Hoot (Chronicle Books; 2008) and Little Oink (Chronicle Books; 2009) by Amy Krouse Rosenthal and Jen Corace.

Little Hoot is about a young owl who would like to go to bed at a reasonable hour, just like his friends, but his Mama and Papa believe little owls must stay up late and play instead. Children who have a hard time going to bed will think this lovely picture book is quite a hoot! Beautifully illustrated, engaging and fun. This book was a runaway hit with my I-don’t-like-going-to-bed 4 year old daughter and her siblings.

“Ten more minutes of playing, Mister. And please don’t ask me again.”
Little Hoot.

Little Oink, is about a piglet who doesn’t like to make a mess. Little Oink is just a neat little fellow who would love nothing more than to have parents tell him to clean his room instead of messing it up. My children enjoyed the clever twists as Little Oink’s mother reminds him that he cannot leave his room until it’s a pigsty!
