A wonderful story based on the true story of a real owl. I will be reading this holiday story each year during the Christmas season.

This book is a lovely twist on a bedtime story. A young boy decides that all creatures including those we call monsters need a bedtime story. He and his mother set off to find a place and call all the creatures of the dark to gather for a story. Once they are all asleep he is free to go to bed and have his own story.

Carnegie. I can see why, but it really didn't do much for me. I don't like supporting the idea of winning animals as prizes, even goldfish. I don't believe that a fox would let a goldfish go, or that the animals could do Peaceable Kingdom, or that they can walk on two legs, sit on rides' seats, throw balls, etc. At least they weren't wearing clothes. Pictures dim, and so hard to tell if there was sufficient detail to please me (I don't think so).
