Three little white owls perch outside their cozy nest, wishing
Mother would come home. In Waddell's simple, repetitive, carefully
fashioned text, each is unique: Sarah, the largest, makes
comforting remarks; Percy seconds them, but doubtfully; while
little Bill just keeps saying, "I want my mommy!" Owl Mother does
come, of course: "WHAT'S ALL THE FUSS? You knew I'd come back."
Benson's soft, wide-eyed birds - rendered in delicate pen strokes
touched with gentle color that makes the dramatic, dark night seem
appropriately awesome - are perfect stand-ins for wise little
toddlers who also know Mom will turn up - but still can't help
wondering. (Kirkus Reviews)
A gentle tale of three baby owls reassures young children that
Mummy will always come home. A gentle tale of three baby owls
reassures young children that Mummy will always come home. Three
baby owls, Sarah, Percy and Bill, wake up one night in their hole
in a tree to find that their mother has gone. So they sit on a
branch and wait... Darkness gathers and the owls grow anxious,
wondering when their mother will return. But, at last, she does and
they bounce up and down with joy, welcoming her home.
