Why Can't the Owl Sleep?

How--oh how--is a great horned owl supposed to sleep? As a parade of animals makes their presence known under his roost the owl soon realizes that getting a good day's rest may be more difficult than he imagined.</p><p>In this colorfully illustrated rhyming tale for children a great horned owl attempts to seek sleep and peace on a very noisy day in the northern woods.</p>
