Synopsis
Can two very different families find their space in the world together? A wonderful wordless picture book offers stylish art, humor, and charm.
A mother owl and her three little owlets live happily on their branch. That is, until the bat family moves in. The newfound neighbors (owls up top, bats hanging below) can’t help but feel a little wary of one another. But babies are curious little creatures, and that curiosity, along with a wild, stormy night, might just bring these two families together. With subtly and hilariously shifting facial expressions and gestures, Marie-Louise Fitzpatrick brings her accessible graphic style to a warm and ingenious wordless tale that is sure to bring smiles to readers of all ages.

From School Library Journal
K-Gr 2—In this charming wordless tale, a family of snoozing owls quietly perch on top of a branch until a family of bats arrive and hang directly below them on the same branch, interrupting the owls' slumber. The now grumpy adult owl makes the little owls move over. Peace is briefly restored, until one of the little owls' curiosity wins and it joins the bats on the underside of the branch. The adult owl retrieves the miscreant, but a sudden wind storm scatters everyone, including the bat family. As the worried adults spring into action, they end up rescuing each other's youngsters and realizing that they might not be so different after all. Ultimately, the parents look on as the little bats and owls play together in the moonlight. Nearly full-page digital illustrations are laid out against a white background, creating a zoomed-in comic panel effect. The color of the sky changes from light blue to dark, with the moon slowly emerging. Fitzpatrick's cartoon animals are cute and funny but very expressive. VERDICT A warm and clever tale celebrating tolerance and friendship. Best shared one-on-one or with a small group.—Yelena Alekseyeva-Popova, formerly at Chappaqua Library, NY
