We love everything about this gameMay 30, 2011
By Designer
We purchased this game for my 4 year old son and have since purchased it for many of his friends for birthdays. Here is what we like about it:
- It's an easy game to learn but is still engaging and keeps his attention.
- The fact that you have to work together to win eliminates hard feelings and tantrums if my son doesn't win.
- It is a beautifully illustrated game.
- It's a bonus that the the company who manufactures it is so conscientious about their impact on the environment.
I would recommend this game for any preschool-aged child.

Hoot Owl Hoot is a hit at our house!Jun 26, 2011
By Seattle Mommy
This game is a new favorite at our house! My 3 year old loves racing against the sun to try to get the baby owls back to their nest. I love how this game teaches him counting, colors and teamwork. Unlike other board games where you play against your opponents, this board game is based on cooperative play so everyone works together toward a common goal. None of the other preschool-aged board games that we have offer this concept of teamwork, so that's something I definitely appreciate about this game. I also love the cute drawings, bright colors and sturdy, environmentally-friendly materials. We love Hoot Owl Hoot and another one (Count Your Chickens) that is made by the same company. Both are great for this age group. Highly recommend for preschoolers!

Fun, Quick, Easy to Learn!Mar 18, 2011
By A Mom's Take
We really enjoyed this game. You can play start the game with anywhere from 3 to 6 owls to increase the difficulty of the game. We played our first game with just 3 owls and worked together to get the owls home by choosing one of our colored cards to move an owl of choice to that colored space on the track. You are racing against the sun that is rising as you play to try to get all the owls home before the sunrise. We have played this game a TON of times and have increased the owls up to play with all 6. I like that the game is short enough that neither my 4 year old or I get bored playing the game. The game board and pieces have very vibrant colors and are are well made. I liked that my son was practicing his colors as well as having to think about which card would be the best to choose in a way that was easy and fun!

Playing is Hoot! Cooperative Games are great fun for the whole family!Oct 29, 2011
By AFB
My daughter is three and has just begun to show an interest in games. The first game we purchased by Peaceable Kingdom was the cooperative game "Count Your Chickens". It was a great first game - counting, repetition and familiar farm animals. "Hoot Owl Hoot" is equally as great and a perfect next step in building your game library.
"Hoot Owl Hoot" is a little more of challenge for a 3 year old. They recommend 4 years old, and I agree that would be the appropriate age. What is nice is they offer three different levels of play so that you can play a simpler version of the game (as in 3 Owl play) -- and then change levels to continue to play the game and feel challenged (as in 6 Owl play) as they master their level.
The goal of the game is to get your Owl home before the sun rises. You pull colored cards from the deck and move your Owl around the board back to their nest. You also pull sun cards and this moves a small sun across the top of the board (the sun rising). This too is a cooperative game which I can not say enough about. Working together as a team makes so much sense for the pre-school set I just wish I had thought of it! It really reinforces all the things they are being taught by parents and teachers - share, take your turn, work together, teamwork! As well as, colors, counting, matching.
The game is beautiful! And Owls are so popular right now so my daughter was delighted to see them. I like that it helps her work with her colors. Switch between two concepts and strategies - as in move the owl to the colored spot, and move the sun as it rises.
The box is a perfect size -- easy to store, easy to take to a friend or grandparent's house. It is also environmentally friendly!
I really am so happy with "Count Your Chickens" and "Hoot Owl Hoot"! Just really fantastic, easy, fun, short games to play with your little one.
They also have great games for the Kindergarten set - check out Lost Puppies, Stone Soup and Mermaid Island!

 Very cute and fun!Jun 12, 2011
By Cherise Kachelmuss
"Mom and More"
I really like the idea of a "Cooperative Game," especially at young ages. I am not big into competition and while some is healthy, it is also healthy to learn to work together. A Cooperative Game allows families (and kids) to share in decision-making, learn to share, build confidence and work as a team. It is also nice if you have a sensitive child who doesn't cope well with loosing.
In "Hoot Owl Hoot!" I could help notice how bright and colorful the game is. The board game is also smaller (think half a Monopoly board size) so it is not too overwhelming for kids. The game can also be played in less than 20 minutes, which is a great for young kids who have short attention spans!
I tried to play this game with my 2 and 4 year old and they are just good at board games. While this game is for ages 4 and up, I think a 5 year old would be better at it and understand it more, and I think it would be fun for kids up to 12! The game does have a few things you need to watch and pieces to use, which is why I felt it was a little hard to play with my 4 year old, not to mention my 2 year old kept jumping in.
Hoot Owl Hoot! reminds me of Candyland as you have cards with colors on them and that's how you know where to move, but there are also owl tokens and a sun token to use in gameplay. We played this basically by drawing cards and moving together to the right colored spot to start off and will slowly work our way up to playing with the extra cards and sun token. It is great though because once you start playing and get the hang of it you can make it more challenging by using the extra owl tokens and spaces. There is also a time in the game where it encourages everyone to hoot like an owl, which is fun and cute! There is no reading required, no spinner or money, just some cards and a board game. Oh and there is a nice paper envelope included to store all the gameplay pieces in so they are not just thrown in to the box. Can't find the instructions? That's because they are actually printed on the inside of the box so you can't loose them and can easily reference them!
Overall, I think Hoot Owl Hoot! is a great game for younger kids to work on their colors and playing together, it is a nice change of pace from trying to beat one another!
