Little Owl Lost by Chris Haughton

from goodreads

5 stars

Man, yesterday seemed like such a busy day. I hardly had time to check my email let alone put up the post.

We had a pretty slow January, but our February seems to be picking up. That is a good thing activity wise but, reading wise, not so much. It is a good thing I got so much reading done in January that I can allow myself a bit of a slow down if needed.

I definitely am feeling a touch of the February Blahs. I think it is because we are having round after round of sickness lately. It will be nice when Miss P. goes to sleep and stays asleep in her own bed! I don't mind sharing, but, between my darling husband's snoring and Miss P.'s need to touch me, it does not make for a very nice sleep.

Are you in the February Blahs? Do you have any tricks for getting out of them?

Synopsis

Little Owl falls out of his nest and a squirrel helps him find his mommy.

My Thoughts

This was a fabulous book. I loved the illustrations. I loved that half page flip book that showed the little owl falling and then bouncing from his nest.

I loved that it was a nutty squirrel who tried to help Little Owl. Seriously. Squirrels in book are so nutty. They seriously make the best characters some time. I loved how the squirrel took Little Owl from animal to animal thinking that they would be Little Owl's mother, because of one physical feature. Awesome!

I like how it ends... though, that mother owl should really invest in some taller walls.

The kids liked this book too. Miss V. would read it to the younger two. It warmed my heart seeing them cuddled together on the couch reading. (And it takes a lot to warm my heart as my husband can attest. ;)

While there is no real depth or super moral of the story, this was still a fun one. I think your family will love it just as much as mine.
