"There aren't many 'baby books' that convey this kind of emotional
richness supported by a perfect artistic form." -- Washington Post Book
World
"I want my mommy!" Three baby owls awake one night to find their mother
gone, and they can't help but wonder where she is. What is she doing?
When will she be back? Martin Waddell's tender text and Patrick Benson's
stunning illustrations capture the anxious little owls as they
worry--and the joyous flapping, dancing, and bouncing that greet their
mother's return. Now little readers will be bouncing themselves when
they see the fluffy white baby owl they can play with long after the
book is closed! A new edition of this comforting classic comes with a
cute owl toy to remind the youngest of children that Mommy always comes
back.
