This is a story about Owl, and also about a day that refused to go the way anybody planned. At the edge of the Whispering Wood, the trees leaned close together, as if they were sharing a secret. It was nearly bedtime, but Owl was wiggly all over, wiggly in the toes and wiggly in the thoughts. Owl's tummy made a noise like a grumpy trombone, and everyone politely pretended not to hear.

Moss grew soft as a sleeve on every stone, and far away a woodpecker knocked on a door that was not there. Owl's mind was busy, busy, busy, like a beehive, even though the day was nearly done.

It began when Owl's toast landed jam side up, which everybody knows means an adventure is coming. Sure enough, a sign appeared: "This way to the Oldest Oak in the heart of the wood. Probably." Owl tried to whistle a brave tune, but only a small wet raspberry came out.
