Suggestions and more Large Cover Image Trade Reviews Kirkus ReviewThis simple concept board book combines colors and counting. In a rhyming game of hide-and-seek, a little blue owl finds four brightly colored friends. When it's his turn to hide, he goes back to sleep. Some of the scansion falters: "Little Blue says to the owls, It's my turn everyone! / Now close your eyes and count to 5 / our play time's almost done.' " "Everyone" and "done" technically rhyme, but the rhythm is slightly off. The eye cutouts that begin with the front cover and grow a tiny bit smaller with each turn of the page make convenient finger holes for young children to grasp but become increasingly ineffective as owl eyes as they diminish in size. Consequently, Little Blue looks the most like an owl, while Little Purple looks owlish only because he is the exact same shape as Little Blue. The presentation of concepts is more successful. Little Blue counts just five colorsperfect for a baby's attention span. A graphic on the back cover highlights which developmental skills the book aims to address. The cheerful simplicity and sturdy pages ensure that this offering will both see and stand up to hard use until readers are ready for Pat Hutchins' classic Good-night, Owl! (1972).
