Owl and the Mystery of Tomorrow
by Réka Király (Author)
Little readers will enjoy thinking about big questions in this bright and colorful picture book that explores time and the meaning of tomorrow.
Owl is confused. She doesn't know what tomorrow means. When does today turn into tomorrow? Does tomorrow begin in the middle of the night, at a certain time in the morning or not until you wake up? Mouse, Hedgehog and Rabbit try to explain, but Owl still doesn't understand. The forest animals make a plan to stay awake all night to find out, but what if they fall asleep? How can you tell it’s tomorrow if it’s already today when you get there?

PreS-Gr 1--Owl is having an ordinary day in the woods with friends when she encounters a small problem: She has no idea what "tomorrow" means. Her friends Hedgehog, Mouse, and Rabbit do their best to explain by using activities in their own days to show Owl. In the end, a party invitation solves everything. The artwork is strong, modern, and attractive, with a dark palette that adds complexity to a fairly simple story line. This is essentially a vocabulary lesson, couched in the comfort of friendship. VERDICT For libraries needing books for emerging readers, this will do; for most it will be an additional purchase.--Debbie Tanner
