About This Book

The sizzle of bacon fills the air as a boy clutches his shopping list tight, but with so many sights and sounds around, will he remember everything? Soft hoots and rustles echo through the night as the owl tries to catch some sleep, only to find the noisy animals won't let him be. These moments of everyday magic and mischief will stay with you long after the day ends.
