Sleep Tight Little Night Owl

The sun had started to set and it was time for bed, but all Ollie the Owl wanted to do was play. Instead of listening to Mama Owl's instructions of going to sleep, Ollie makes a mess of all his feathers in his bed. Mama Owl isn't pleased that Ollie isn't fast asleep so she finds a clever way to make Ollie wish he had been fast asleep.

Little Ollie was so cold, he began to regret that he had played around and made his mama fret. He could have been home in his nice warm bed...Now he was fighting freezing air instead. In Sleep Tight Little Owl, Mama Owl takes Ollie flying outside to visit all their friends. Oillie grows cold and tired. He realizes that he needs his sleep and sweet dreams in bed.

Mama Owl wants nothing but the very best for Ollie. When she discovers that he's not sleeping during bedtime as she advised, she teaches Ollie a lesson by making him wish he had better sleep habits. Ollie realizes that Mama telling him to sleep on time was out of love and that sleeping at bedtime hours is essential for his growth.
