Little Owl returns in this follow-up to his debut adventure, chronicled in Little Owl's Night, this time finding himself exploring during the day, when he should be asleep. Astonished at the things he sees - animals that aren't abroad at night, butterflies instead of moths, the beauty of the misty rainbow created by the nearby waterfall - he returns home at dusk with a new appreciation of the world around him...

Although I did appreciate the narrative in Little Owl's Day, with its emphasis on discovery, and the beauty of the natural world, what really made the reading experience a pleasure was Divya Srinivasan's bold illustrations. The colors pop off the pages, which have pastel backgrounds during the day, and a deep black one at night, while the stylized animal figures are cute and somehow quite expressive. Little Owl, appropriately enough, is all eyes. I don't know that this one impressed me quite as much as its predecessor, but it certainly had appeal, and is one I would recommend to young animal and owl lovers, and to anyone who enjoyed the earlier book about this little strigine character.

I can see why this book is a story time favorite but for this reader it was just so-so. Owl gets up way too early and gets to experience Day for the first time. He learns how it differs from his night, and even gets shown new things by friends. The illustrations are cute, but not award winning.
