Sarah, Percy and Bill are three little owls whose mother has gone off to hunt. They sit side-by-side on their branch ,and they worry. Bill says, "I want my mommy." Great book especially for those who are dealing with separation anxiety. Pictures are wonderful, and then Mommy comes swooping home. "I love my mommy," says Bill. Nothing better than the fabulous empathy of Martin Waddell.

*********

The baby owls came out of their house, and they sat on the tree and waited. A big branch for Sarah, a small branch for Percy, and an old piece of ivy for Bill.

When three baby owls awake one night to find their mother gone, they can't help but wonder where she is. Stunning illustrations from unique and striking perspectives capture the owls as they worry about their mother: What is she doing? When will she be back? What scary things move all around them? Not surprisingly, a joyous flapping and dancing and bouncing greets her return, lending a celebratory tone to the ending of this comforting tale. Never has the plight of young ones who miss their mother been so simply told or so beautifully rendered.---from the publisher
