Bookroo's summary

In the dark of night, a cunning owl dons clever disguises to hunt unsuspecting prey. From a carrot to other amusing costumes, his attempts are hilariously thwarted. Will this master of disguise finally succeed, or will his prey outsmart him at every turn? Dive into a whimsical tale of humor and unexpected twists as the owl's antics unfold in a world where nothing is quite as it seems.

From the publisher

Watch out! Hoot Owl is hungry in an offbeat story with deadpan humor and bold, striking illustrations. Hoot Owl is no ordinary owl. He is a master of disguise! In the blackness of night, he’s preparing to swoop on his prey before it can realize his dastardly tricks. Look there–a tasty rabbit for him to eat! Hoot Owl readies his costume, disguising himself as . . . a carrot! Then he waits. The rabbit runs off. Never mind! Surely his next juicy target will cower against such a clever and dangerous creature as he! Kids will hoot at Sean Taylor’s deliciously tongue-in-beak narration, belied by the brilliantly comical illustrations of Jean Jullien.
