Owly and Wormy Bright Lights and Starry Nights! Book Review

Owly and Wormy Bright Lights and Starry Nights! is a stunning wordless picture book by author/illustrator Andy Runton.  Owly and his friend Wormy cannot wait to use their telescope to see the stars.  No matter how hard they try, they cannot seem to find anything in the night sky.

Owly decides that in order to see stars, they should go camping.  The pair soon get stuck in a rain storm and must take cover in a spooky, dark cave.  Strange noises are coming from the back of the cave and Wormy does not want to stick around to see who or what it could be.

Racing from the cave, Owly accidentally drops his telescope in the forest.  Will he be able to recover it in time to show Wormy the stars?  Have Owly and Wormy truly escaped the cave monster?

This is a stunning book from start to finish.  Children will fall in love with Runton's adorable characters.  Instead of words, Runton makes use of speech bubbles that communicate Owly and Wormy's thoughts.  The story reads like a comic book which children will absolutely enjoy.

I highly recommend this book to readers of all ages.  I cannot wait to read more of Owly and Wormy's adventures.
