She's finally old enough to learn all his big brother owly wisdom: First, owls say
hooo. Second, they always say
hooo. Lastly, they ONLY say
hooo! But why would Peep say
hooo when she could say
schweeepty peep or
dingity dong? Why would she speak when she could sing? As she explores the breathtaking Parisian cityscape, Peep discovers so many inspiring sights and sounds—the ring of cathedral bells, the slap of waves on stone—that she can’t help but be swept up in the magic of it all. Hoot doesn’t understand Peep’s awe, until he takes a pause to listen . . . and realizes that you're never too old to learn a little something new.
