Owly & Wormy: Bright Lights and Starry Nights!

Out on a stargazing venture in this wordless picture book, Owly and Wormy discover that it's fine to be frightened--but it's better to be brave.

Owly and Wormy want to see the stars So they gather their telescope and their lantern and head out into the dark night, all the way to the edge of their branch. Try as they might, though, they can only see leaves...and branches...and more leaves.
But these two friends are not about to let a little obstacle like foliage stop them. Armed with camping gear, galoshes--and their wits, of course --Owly and Wormy set out once again. And this time there are even bigger challenges to face. What's that screee sound? What's that click click clicking noise? And what has happened to their telescope?
Owly and Wormy find plenty to be frightened of, but with a little bravery, they also find there are nearly as many helpful new friends on the horizon as there are stars in the sky. This wordless picture book conveys a nuanced narrative with charming illustrations that will appeal to even the earliest readers.
