Owl is so excited that Platypus, an Australian didgeridoo player, has agreed to attend the animals’ Fall Feast that a bout of frantic planning ensues. Owl asks each animal what they like about Owl’s usual Fall Feast dishes, only to discover that what Owl thought each animal liked was not true. In the end, each animal brings something to share, which turns out to be the best feast ever. Digital illustrations show these anthropomorphic animals explaining what they like (or don’t like) about the food, and how they end up working together to have a great feast. Encourages readers to listen to what others say and not just assume something, and that working together is better than just one person doing everything.
