Staff Reviews
A charming and familiar tale, perfect for the youngest readers. This cute little owl had me under his spell from the front cover -- another of Chris Haughton's simple and expressive characters for all ages to adore.
One minute Owl is sleeping, snuggled in his nest, and the next he's tumbling to the ground. Where's momma? With the help of a friendly squirrel, little Owl sets off in search of his missing mother. Relying on Owl's descriptions -- pointy ears! big eyes! -- the pair find one forest animal after another that definitely isn't Owl's momma, until the story concludes with a joyful reunion, complete with cookies for everyone to share.

— From Matt Recommends!Description
“A debut that reads like a tattered old favorite.” — Publishers Weekly
Uh-oh! Little Owl has fallen from his nest, and his mommy is nowhere to be seen! With the earnest help of his new friend Squirrel, Little Owl goes in search of animals that fit his description of Mommy Owl. But while some are big (like a bear) or have pointy ears (like a bunny), none of them have all the features that make up his mommy. A cast of adorable forest critters in retro, neon-bright hues will engage little readers right up to the story’s comforting conclusion.
About the Author
Praise For…
With instinctive skill, Haughton uses spreads of the forest to establish atmosphere and set up jokes, then delivers punch lines with spot illustrations that zero in on the animals’ dopey but lovable expressions. A promising first outing.
—Publishers Weekly
The art does a wonderful job of conveying movement and encouraging page turns. This little gem will work equally well in storytimes or one-on-one.
