A Bit of Heaven on the Earth

In this delightful meadowland fable, creatures of the forest try to guess the owl’s riddle—Too hoo, too hoo, a bit of heaven on the earth. Children will join to solve the riddle as each creature takes a turn. As often happen in real life, it is the lowliest creature whom others put down who is the real hero. At the end of the story, children learn how they can reveal the bit of heaven on the earth by themselves.
