About this ebook
Betty Staley, author of books on child, adolescent, and adult development writes this delightful meadowland fable in which the creatures try to guess the owl's riddle—Too hoo, too hoo, a bit of heaven on the earth. Children will join to solve the riddle as each creature takes a turn. As often happens in real life, it is the lowliest creature whom others put down who is the real hero. At the end of the story, children learn how they can reveal the bit of heaven on the earth by themselves.
