After napping one night, a little owl wakes up to the colorful daytime world, greeting each new sight (yellow sun, green leaves, a rainbow) with "WOW!" Hopgood tells his tale with just enough embellishment to flesh out each sentence without distracting from the story's simplicity. He uses drawing, painting, and computer manipulation to create pictures with vivid colors but delicate lines and textures.
