 I love this book December 17, 2008
marbles (Manchester)
I bought this book for my baby when she was tiny. She is nearly one now, and flaps and bounces at the appropriate point.
The story manages to combine simplicity, with real charactarisation and emotions in a way that none of the other stories I read to my daughter do. The pictures are beautifully drawn, they look like real owls, but still manage to convey the emotion of the story.
A Wonderful Classic December 4, 2008
B. East (Sussex)
All new parents should have this and all of Martin Waddells books given to them. Owl Babies is a delight of a book.
Suprisingly successful! November 20, 2008

When my son turned 2 our health visitor came to do the usual check up and gave him his Bookstart pack which included the delightfully colourful "cock-a-moo-moo" and the rather bland and dull looking Owl Babies. cock a moo moo was read again and again and I just assumed the "dull" illustrations and not so "loud" and rather "bounce-less" narrative of Owl Babies would not captivate him so it found its way to the bottom of the toy box until my son pulled it out one day and asked to have it read to him, after which we were both hooked! Now he is three and his little 1 year old sister also loves the book, its taught them that when mummy leaves its no big deal, and sometimes you may well b on your own, but at those times you look after each other (rather than pinching the other's toy the moment mummy walks out the room!). I was surprised at both my kids loving the book despite what I had written off as too scary a story (is mummy gone for too long?), too boring the narrative and too dull the illustrations.

Boy, did I hoot(sorry) at the couple of reviewers who rated this with 1 or 2 stars by over analysing and missing the point of this book. You idiots - KIDS LOVE THIS STORY. As a primary school teacher and father I can honestly say that this book rocks. Both my kids have loved this - the language used within does so much to engage and light the spark of reading in young children. They relate to the owl babies and bond with the reader due to the fantastic writing for little 'uns - top book.
Absolutely beautiful... March 13, 2008

'Owl Babies' tells the simple but wonderfully-illustrated tale of three little owls who wake to find their mother missing. During their eager wait for her return, they consider where she might be...except for Fred, the tiniest of the three, who is so upset he just keeps saying 'I want my mummy!'.
Though necessarily simple given the age of its target audience, this would be an immensely reassuring story to read to any child having to spend a little time away from his or her parents, or perhaps one who dislikes sleeping in a room alone. The element of repetition in little Fred's dialogue lends itself to 'playing along' and the illustrations really are outstanding.
I came across this beautiful book whilst waiting in a doctor's office, and I'm so glad I did - I'll certainly be buying a copy for my own child when s/he is born.
