"There aren't many 'baby books' that convey this kind of emotional
richness supported by a perfect artistic form." -- Washington Post

When three baby owls awake one night to find their mother gone, they
can't help but wonder where she is. Stunning illustrations capture the
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, 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.
