Hoot Owl, Master of Disguise

Beware, tiny creatures of the night! Hoot Owl is hunting. He’s no ordinary owl – oh no! He’s a proud master of disguise. This stealthy ninja of the night has lots of clever ways to trick his prey. So why does his dinner keep escaping? Hmm: maybe dressing up as a carrot isn’t the best way to catch a rabbit. And will disguising yourself as a birdbath really fool the birds? Maybe this little owl isn’t as smart as he thinks he is. But don’t you dare laugh. (Tee hee hee.) Oh – go on then. If you must...
