Owl Babies
Written by Martin Waddell
Illustrated by Patrick Benson
Publisher: Walker Books
ISBN: 0-7445-9270-4
Summary/Back cover:
On a tree in the woods, three baby owls sit and think and wait for the Owl Mother to come home.
Review:
The three baby owls miss their mother and at first the two older owls are confident their mother will be back soon while the smallest owl misses his mother. After a while they all become unsure and comfort each other until their mother returns.
This is a simple but lovely story suitable for all ages. It is fairly short with beautiful illustrations.
Word of warning: I would not recommend reading this story to a child who is missing his/her mother as the smallest owl continually says “I want my mummy.” My own mum had to change the words in the story to avoid reading this line when she was looking after my kids for the night otherwise it could have ended up in a disastrous night.
3/5
