cbr17bingo Bingo O
I admit it, I’m fudging the Bingo O square a bit. I couldn’t find an O title where the letter O started the full title, but there is the letter O in the word Owl, so I am counting this title to fill the spot. Yet, it is not just the title that is an O as the text is “Oh, that is interesting,”and “Oh boy this is going to be something your child will love.”
At first, the idea seems like it will be a typical going to bed book, with the incorrect information of an owl sleeping at night instead of being nocturnal as owls are naturally. Instead, though we have an owl desperately trying to go to sleep in the nighttime and frustrations happen, we eventually go to the facts and have a proper owl. But until then, as the owl happens to stay awake during the day, his exhaustion causes more than a few mishaps. In the end, Owl learns that they belong to the night, like other creatures and needs to call it a day when the sun rises. 
The theme is not unique (bed time and its woes) but the way it was presented gives it a bit of a newness. The mixture of a classical look with mostly modern elements to the illustrations also gives it a look that makes it not just another bedtime story or a bedtime book. The “Oh interesting” comes into play (for me) because all the pieces fit together and I was not thinking WOW Best Book, but was also not YUCK Worst Book, therefore it as cozy. It has that middle ground while you are The Mixed-Up Owl by Marzena Sowa and Joanna Lorho.
I read this via an online reader copy, but is currently it is available for your to purchase at your favorite independent bookstore or pick up at your local library so you too can have new bedtime, or anytime read.
