Listen to an audio clip

Owl is a smaller person, but very like Pussy Cat. Find his pointed ears .... his very large round eyes... He has a yellow beak instead of a nose.... His head is a round circle and so is his brown body... He has spiky wings sticking out from either side of his body. He stands on yellow legs and claws.
Now turn over this plastic page to your second feely picture. We shall soon read that the Owl and the Pussy Cat are going sailing in a pea green boat. This boat is at the bottom of the feely picture.
