Synopses & Reviews
Caterina creates the most unique lemonade stand in the neighborhood in this sunny second book of an endearing new series, just right for fans of Max and Ruby and Ladybug Girl.
Caterina loves making lists and planning big, creative projects, and this time shes planning a lemonade stand the perfect summer pastime. Shes hoping to earn enough money for a new scooter, but finds that shes not the only one in town with the lemonade idea. Everybody seems to be selling the refreshing treat, so how can Caterinas stand truly stand out?
Leave it to our hard-working, artistic bird (with a little help from her faithful younger brother, Leo) to make a joyous success of her plan. Readers will want to try Caterinas bright idea, or maybe come up with a great one of their own. And theyll cheer the surprise ending -- a happy one for Caterina and especially for sweet Leo.
Review
Praise for LITTLE OWLS NIGHT by Divya Srinivasan: "This debut picture book gets it all just right. The story, while familiar, is executed deftly and with heart, and the crisp graphic elements of the artwork juxtapose well against the pretty prose." --Booklist, starred review "The story's chief virtue is its graceful, balletic prose... It's a provocative inversion of the classic bedtime story, and a solid first outing. Srinivasan's message is that night is a delightful place, and that's useful knowledge for small children." --Publisher's Weekly "A graceful bedtime story celebrates the beauty found in night... Hold on to Little Owl's tail feathers and soar." --Kirkus Reviews "This exceptional first book by Srinivasan, a talented illustrator... follows Little Owl during his nighttime explorations... this bedtime tale may even convert children who are afraid of the dark into adventuresome night owls" -New York Times Book Review "This is the most visually and verbally gorgeous picture book of the year... Simple, dazzling - and simply dazzling." --The Boston Globe
