Simon & Shuster are to publish a full-colour Owly book.
The latest edition in Andy Runton's popular, wordless series of graphic novels - which is licensed by Top Shelf Productions - will be released in March, reports The Beat.
"This 40-page full-colour hardcover picture book (with a dust jacket) is published by Simon & Schuster under license from Top Shelf, and we're all very excited to add this new dimension to the Owly Universe," said Top Shelf.
"Owly and Wormy want butterflies! But when they come home from Mrs Raccoon's nursery with a milkweed plant that's supposed to attract some fluttering friends, what they get instead are chubby, green bugs. But green bugs are not butterflies!"
The Owly series has previously been the recipient of Eisner, Harvey and Ignatz awards.
