I really love Lita Judge's whimsical illustrations. Hoot, the older and wiser brother, thinks that he know exactly how owls are supposed to act but his little sister, Peep, shows him otherwise when she teaches him to sing her song. Great book to read for a family storytime to remind children that everyone is different.

I love Lita Judge! She finds a way to focus on the unique and fun parts of a character’s personality and highlight the way that being different makes us all better. This one also specifically looks at sibling rivalry because Hoot is perfect and Peep wants to be just like him, and Hoot wants Peep to be just like him, but she just isn’t. It is important for both of them to realize that it is these differences that make each of them who they are. In addition, the book takes the reader on a journey through Paris which makes the adventure even more fun.

For what this was meant to be it was well done. A cute, basic story about a brother and sister owl who have different ideas of how to sing at night.

This is a sweet story about being open-minded toward others, and expressing yourself the way you were made to. It doesn't have too much of a story, but the sentiment is there.
Plus, owls.

A cute, light story about siblings with a nice message. The art is absolutely gorgeous. Could stare at the pages all day.

Above the crooked rooftops of an ancient European city, sibling owls have some kind of minor altercation. You know what? I don't even care. I will love anything Lita Judge puts her hand to - her animals have eyes and expressions and gestures that are so charming and so natural - and in this case it's all in that Maxfield Parrish palette of browny golds and dusky blues. Irresistible.
