Little Owl Lost

Okay, do you remember Are You My Mother? This bright, modern, boldly illustrated book is a revisit of the theme of separation. Little Owl falls out of the nest while Mother Owl is sleeping soundly. "Bump, bump, bump." Very concerned shadowy animals blending into the trees see it all happen right before their very eyes and you get immediately that they know this little owl needs to be with his/her mommy. Happily a friendly squirrel steps up to help find Mommy. Little Owl gives clues to what Mommy looks like. "Very big" results in a very surprised bear. Pointy ears gets you a confused rabbit. The squirrel is very confident that this story will have a happy ending. Think they'll find her? Rushing hither and yon through the forest results in a frog who knows just where Mommy can be found. Friendship, helping others, fear of separation and the magic of Mommy are solidly at work here. 32 pages Ages 3-5
