Little Owl's Swim - Debi Gliori ... midnight, and all is quiet by the pond...or is it? A bold little owl has flown the nest for a nighttime adventure, but he's a little nervous about it because, of course, most owls don't swim. But with the help of Duck, Hen and Otter he tiptoes into the water for a magical moonlit moment - and has the jolliest time! Beautifully written and illustrated by Debi Gliori, this charming book is one in a series of four new Buggy Buddies, with beautiful sparkly silver and gold foil highlights on every spread. The added novelty of the handy Buggy Buddies strap means you can bring this special story with you, wherever you go!
