Book giveaway: Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise

This month we are delighted to bring you Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise. This hilarious tale from masterful storyteller Sean Taylor and celebrated graphic artist Jean Jullien tells the story of Hoot Owl, an extraordinary owl and master of disguise, and how he uses his expert camouflage powers to trick his unsuspecting prey.

Laugh-out-loud and boldly illustrated, Hoot Owl is the perfect book for reading aloud together and we think you'll probably enjoy it as much as the kids.

Walker Books have asked us to find 50 Mumsnetters to read Hoot Owl and tell us what they think about it on this discussion thread. Go to the giveaway page to find out more and apply for a free copy.

You don’t have to win a free copy to take part in the discussion. Anyone who has read Hoot Owl can post their feedback here, and all who post before 25 April will be entered into a prize draw to win a £100 Love2Shop voucher.

This giveaway is sponsored by Walker Books

My nephews loved it, when we went to the zoo the owl enclosure was one of the first places they wanted to visit.

very funny

jandoc · 15/03/2016 21:36

we really liked it

buckley1983 · 15/03/2016 22:57

This one was a winner from the off - we love owls & I'm certain Hoot will be become a feathered favourite, to join the likes of Plop ('The Owl who was afraid of the dark'), Owl from 'Meg & Mog' & the little chap from 'Wow said the owl'. Beautifully illustrated & perfect for younger children :)

Mozarmstrong · 16/03/2016 09:47

Oh this is funny clever and imaginative in the owls world. Think boys might laugh out loud more than girls. Well worth a read .

mickaul232 · 16/03/2016 11:54
