Hoo’s there?! Hampton is! This book is so cute! The illustration in the story is precious. It was fun trying to figure who is the monster Hampton and Figgy have been hearing bump through the night.

What a cute book. I like this book because kids are usually afraid of sounds in the dark and this goes to show them that most of the sounds, you think are scary really are not. The illustrations were really cute and I love the use of onomatopoeia!

Such a fun and silly book about getting over your fear of the dark. I love the illustrations in this book, and the overall theme of conquering your fears. My second grade students would love this book as well as my baby who I read it to.

Very cute book, I loved the illustrations. It's a good story line about scary noises and how they probably aren't really scare things, just noises.

Sweet and funny at times. Loves the illustrations and colors of the pages. Well written for understanding that not all things that go bump in the night are monsters.

Love this book from the cover to the end. Catchy title. Age appropriate. Great pictures. Would highly recommend!

A funny story to accompany children's bedtime rituals. This little owl loves to read horror stories, but is afraid of the noises himself. Until he found a friend, then the horror is not that scarry anymore. A truly fun read to give children peace during nighttime.

This is such an adorable book and the illustrations are beautiful. My little man read it with me and love the silly sounds and colorful artwork. A great story about being afraid and facing your fear. As a former teacher and mom of four I would definitely recommend this book.

It was a cute whimsical story about misunderstandings. There wasn’t a whole lot of story to it but it was a fun read about making a friend.

So cute! I enjoyed the rhymes and alliteration to address fear. Hampton the owl and Figgy the pig are silly, fun characters that will delight children. A cozy story to read during Halloween season or with children afraid of the dark.

Thank you to NetGalley and Thomas Nelson for the advanced copy. All opinions are my own.

Hampton and Figgy are so adorable! My little guy loved this book! He loved helping me say all the different sounds in the book! I loved how this book came at the perfect time for him, as he has been asking about monsters at bed time. The artwork is super cute and engaging. I will be adding this as a staple to our bedtime rotation!

Cuteness overload!! 🦉🐷

As a new grandma who enjoys reading, I was intrigued to check out this charming little story for my grandson Cal, who will be 1 when this book is published.

My love for the illustrations and cover is what I want to start with. I was immediately drawn to both which made me want to check it out.

The characters of Hampton, an owl, and Figgy the pig are fun and very lovable.

The story helps young children realize that the noises and bumps they hear at night are not always as scary as they may seem. Which would be an effective book to have ready in your arsenal for the bedtime scaries that are sure to come.

It's also worth mentioning that I could imagine myself interacting with my grandson while reading this book, and I'm sure I would take a pause to do so. I'll be on the lookout for it in June.

Thank you Net Galley, author Kristi Valiant and her publisher for the ARC in exchange for my honest review..

Hampton the owl loves the quiet of nighttime, but one night he hears a snorting, sniffling, MONSTER!
This is a really cute one for teaching onomatopoeia, and would be really fun at a toddler or youngish preschool storytime - they’d have a blast hooting and oinking and snorting along. Plus there’s a great message about conquering your fears at the end (spoiler alert - what he heard was a piglet, and SHE thought HE was a hooting monster too!). And Hampton the owl and his little red bow tie are way too adorable.

Cute illustrations and story. An owl and a pig figure out who the monster is they’ve been hearing and fearing. Fun book.

I was given an advanced reader copy for free and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Such a cute story. I loved how the text changed in size and style to give the reader clues how to do a good performance as a read aloud. That’s great for parents who want to give an animated reading. The pictures were beautifully rendered, very colorful and appealing. The story was fun and light.
Thank you for giving me a sample of the book to review. It was a pleasure to read!

Hoo's There?: A Silly Book for the Bedtime Scaries (Board Book)
by Kristi Valiant
A cute sample of art work with big eyes and silly exaggerated expressions.
Showing that we make our selves frighten by our own misconception.
A good conversation starter for early education showing that we make our own fears. That if we look closer we can find connections.

Hoo’s There is an adorable children’s book about facing your fears starring Hampton the owl! Hampton loves reading, but starts to hear scary noises and meets a friend along the way with Figgy the pig.

Young children will love this book, as they’ll be captivated by the beautifully bright illustrations, the fun rhymes, and the awesome adventure. This book is fun and silly, but also shares a great message that often time our fears aren’t what we think. It also displays friendship and being brave together.

I would love to read this book to my students in my classroom! Children at a preschool/kindergarten age love books about animals—and Hampton is a star!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review. I cannot wait to add it to my classroom collection.

Owl hears a noise and gets scared. Is it a mmmmmonster? Or is he hearing sounds from something else. Such a cute story about being afraid and then realizing its really nothing at all. Good bedtime story book.

Sooooo cute! The illustrations were great! I loved the story, they start out being scared then turn out silly and the ones reading about monsters! Loved reading this one and asking questions like what do you think is going to happen next, and isn’t Figgy dressed so silly?

Hampton the owl loves to read. Then he hears some noise & decides it has to be a monster. What he finds is a pig, who thinks there is a monster. They decide to dress up and scare away the monter. Finally, they realize the noises each heard was the other. Now they are friends that like to read about monsters together.

A sweet board book. It has a twist and a great/funny ending. Would definitely share this with a preschooler!
