Hoot and Peep

I purchase so many books, that I rarely review them, because it would take up too much time. However, the reaction my preschool students had to this one just begged for a review. It is a simple story, with a sibling theme that resonated to many of the children. In a multi-age classroom, it appealed to those without siblings as well. The children loved the sounds of Peeps "words," accompanied with the voice I chose for her and requested to hear the story over and over, until they could recite it from memory. They had only two bits of constructive criticism, which they put in the form of questions. 1. Why does Hoot say "Hoo" and not "Hoot?" and 2. Why does Hoot learn to sing Peeps words, but Peep never learns to say his word?

illustrations are so important, this is the first reason i chose the book for my 2 year old grandson. he loves owls, so the book caught my attention for that reason, but the illustrations i saw on line made me decide to purchase it instead of another owl book. what i hadn't expected was the text. wow! what a great story line and i really appreciate that the story line is simple and yet packs a powerful message. AND the story is so fun to read with all the sounds the owls make. i know this book is going to be a big hit with my grandson!

My 5yo daughter loves owls and loves both books by Lita Judge about Hoot & Peeps. She is learning to read and enjoys trying to read the story on her own. The illustrations are beautiful. I highly recommend.

Illustrations are very pretty. My toddler is into owls and this delivers. It has a cute storyline and beautiful illustrations. Added bonus: it introduces toddlers to the Paris skyline!

I saw this book while at a local library with my 3 year old granddaughter and was captivated by the enticing cover! The illustrations are adorable and the plot is heart warming and educational, particularly since my granddaughter has an older sibling. The three of us have reread this book several times already. We have made owl paper bag puppets and put on plays, recreating the story. We all love this book!

Super cute picture book for kids, wish it were less expensive. Thanks for selling it, though.

great little book about doing your own thing instead of what others tell you to do.

Really cute story, purchased for a niece who has a new baby sister.

Sweet story and wonderful pictures. I'm giving it to my daughter for Christmas. She has a new little sister so I thought the story about siblings was appropriate.
