Hoot & Honk’s story is literally an animal identity story. It looks at nature and different types of birds, and tells the story of two birds trying to find their correct home and sleep schedule. The text is a perfect time to discuss nocturnal versus diurnal animals and how they work within nature. The story is also a perfect bedtime story because the writing is so rhythmic and the story is all about finding the right time to sleep. Kids are going to love this story whenever it is used–before bed or in the classroom.

When two eggs get mixed up in a storm, a gosling and owlet end up in the wrong nest and wonder why they want to sleep at the wrong time and don't like to eat what the other babies do. A cute rhyming story with scant words and a fun, bouncing rhythm.

What fun! Two eggs are switched before hatching and the chicks realize they are surrounded by other babies very different from themselves! Opposites are pointed out, as well as the similarities that bind all loving families together, while spare, rhyming text highlights beautiful illustrations! This one is also written and illustrated by a Michigan author who will be visiting my library in the coming months, so I'm glad I got a chance to read another book by her.
