First sentence: Once there was an owl that couldn't say "Whooo."
Description: Hooper is a baby owl who can't say "whooo-whooo" like all the other owls. Instead he can only say "what-what", despite his mother's best efforts to teach him. He gets made fun of by the other animals. But his special talent comes in handy in an emergency and he becomes the hero of the forest.
Notes: Half pictures (interesting 1960s style paper "cut outs") and half text. Recommended for approximately 6 to 8 years.
