New York Times–bestselling illustrator Pete Oswald joins us to share his latest, “Owl by Myself,” the story of an irresistible new character who insists on doing everything owl by himself today. He might not be great at it, but it’s fun to see him try!

Owl wakes up with a mission for the day: to do everything owl by himself. Like clean his room. (Don’t look in that corner. Or that corner…) Brush his teeth. (Just step over that small mountain of toothpaste on the floor.) And pack his backpack for school. (You can never bring too many stuffies to school!)

Follow a day in the life of the most adorable owl you’ve ever seen as he proves he’s a big boy ready to take care of himself—or at least tries his best.
