Product Description
Review
Mary McQuillan’s enchanting illustrations are full of lovely details. The bold brush stokes and colour and the beautifully careful compositions are equally well suited to getting across the fluffy cuteness of the forest creatures and the harshness of Twoo Twit’s uncomfortable night. The delightful pictures lift the story above its rather worthy message sufficiently to engage even more cynical young readers. (Writeaway.org.uk )
Twoo Twit is not a wise owl. And the reason why? He's a secret truant. It's not until his lack of education comes to light that he realizes there's a lot to be said for being a learned owl. An appealing tale of a cheeky errant owl who mends his ways.
Product Description
Owls are supposed to be wise, but Twoo Twit is anything but! He loves playing on haybales and playing poohsticks, but he really doesn't like going to school. Until one day when he goes to play in the church tower and gets the fright of his life! Suddenly, he realises that learning to read might actually be a good thing!

Format:Hardcover
Twoo Twit is a silly little owl who intrigues the other woodland animals with his foolishness. There is however a more serious underlying reason why Twoo Twit is such a dim-wit: he skips school... And then one night where he decides to hang in the church tower oblivious to the bell-ringing contest because he can't read the great big poster, and from then on Twoo twit shows up in the classroom!
The pictures are friendly fun and, as if his name isn't ridiculous enough, there's plenty to make a four-year old giggle e.g. the description of Twoo twit as a mushroom bonce, and the prickled-bottom-on-a-thorn-bush gag.

Format:Paperback
This is the story of a stupid little owl who is too lazy to go to school and prefers bunking off all day and mucking about. His reputation in the forest is seriously dented and his parents are in despair until the day he learns a serious lesson about the importance of being able to read. It is funny and heartwarming with wonderful illustrations and has some fantastic lines which even parents will find amusing.

Anti-Homeschooling!
11 Nov 2008
Format:Hardcover
Ironically enough, we checked out this book as a part of our homeschooling curriculum using Owl Moon.
It started with name calling, then it went anti homeschooling. Basically saying if you don't go to school, your dumb.
Horrible book!
