Owl tries his best to wrap up his night and settle in for a long
sleep-after moving past a few bumps in the road--in this Geisel
Honor-winning, giggle-worthy bedtime story.
Will Owl ever get a good night's sleep? He's ready for bed, but as soon
as he settles in, he hears a strange noise. He looks everywhere--in his
cupboard, underneath the floorboards--even in his walls. He'll never get
to sleep unless he can figure out what's going on! But as he's busy
tearing his house apart, he doesn't notice one tiny, squeaky,
mouse-shaped detail--the culprit!
Every observant young reader will point again and again to the answer to
Owl's persistent question, laughing all along the way. From the creator
of The Watermelon Seed comes another pitch-perfect tale that's
empowering, engaging, and entertaining.

end." --Kirkus Reviews
