Owl Babies Oversized Board Book - Board Book
by Martin Waddell (Author), Patrick Benson (Illustrator)
"There aren't many 'baby books' that convey this kind of emotional richness supported by a perfect artistic form." -- Washington Post Book World
When three baby owls awake one night to find their mother gone, they can't help but wonder where she is. Beautifully nuanced illustrations capture the anxious owls as they worry about their mother: What is she doing? When will she be back? Not surprisingly, a joyous flapping and dancing and bouncing greets her return, ending this comforting tale with a sense of celebration.Martin Waddell wanted Owl Babies to capture the "strong emotion of 'I want my mommy!'" that is so familiar to children. He is the author of more than one hundred books for young readers. He lives in England.
