Now, 2 owls are ready to play.
Hippity-hop, bip-bop, jive and sway!

Hootenanny, hootenanny-- it's time for fun.
Hootenanny, hootenanny--the party has begun!

In this jazzy picture book, a hilarious cast of owls are working their way from the bottom to the top of the Old Oak Tree for a party on a Saturday night. Along the way these owls sing, boogie and even choose dapper duds for their special affair. At last, the all "hoot and holler" at the hootenanny!
