<<<<<<A Wise Old Owl sat in an oak>>>>>>>
The more he heard, the less he spoke
The less he spoke, the more he heard
Why aren`t we all like that wise old bird?




Picture Story books






Owl CircleTime songs and poetry

brown owl, brown owl
whooo, whoo, whoo
brown owl, brown owl
whoo, whoo, whoo
we see you sitting in a tree
and when he looks at you
he flaps his wings
and says whoo whoo whoooo



When it is dark outside
and the moon is full
lets walk outside
into the darkness and silence
and see if we can find a owl
whooooo, whoooo whooo

Owl Painting

One night the moon was full
shinning in the night sky
tree tops swaying in the silence of the darkness
when all of a sudden
something moved from within the shadows of the trees
it was an owl flying across the night sky................











There was once an old old tree
with branches reaching all the way to the sky
a golden brown colour surrounded by the night sky
and in the tree was a hole
looking closely
I found a owl looking out at me.........................
whooo whooooo whooooo
