Baby Owl Says Whoo

Baby Owl sat on a branch.

Baby Owl sat on a branch. It was nighttime. All the other owls were hooting. "Whoo! Whoo!"

Baby Owl tried. "Wh... wh... peep!" That was not right.

She tried again. "Whee!" No, that was not right either.

Mama Owl flew over. "Watch me, little one. Whoo!"

Baby Owl took a deep breath. "Whoo... p!" Almost!

Papa Owl said, "You are doing great. Try once more."

Baby Owl closed her eyes. She puffed up her feathers. She opened her beak wide.

"WHOO!"

She did it! A perfect hoot! It echoed through the trees.

All the owls in the forest cheered. "Wonderful! Beautiful hoot!" they said.

Baby Owl was so proud. She hooted all night long. Whoo! Whoo! Whoo! The stars twinkled, and the moon smiled down at the happiest little owl in the whole forest.
