Synopsis

Get to know these rare and beautiful birds in this warmly illustrated non-fiction picture book with story CD. The little girl in this book has never seen a barn owl, but one day her grandpa puts a nest-box high in the old oak tree. They wait and they wait until one spring night, just as the sky goes pink, a pale face looks out of it, then takes off towards them... A non-fiction picture-book by one of today's most acclaimed authors. In the accompanying CD, actor Stephen Tompkinson explores the wonderful world of barn owls through information, music and story.
