“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.

Editorial Reviews

Review

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.
—School Library Journal

Such a cute story, & fun to read aloud.
One of my almost-three year old son's favorite authors is Chris Houghton. We have his other two currently available books "SHH! We Have a Plan" and "Oh No, George!". My son loves these books so much, he has heard them so many times he learned some sight words from them.This was the last Houghton book we bought. I think it was Houghton's first, though.The four main characters are so sweet and funny and adorable. The artwork is beautiful. The board book is short. I purchased the board book version of this one because we have the other two in full size (quite big) and wanted something more portable from this author. My son can handle this comfortably in his car seat and it fits in his backpack easily. He loves the book. It stars three of his favorite animals: squirrel, owl, and frog. Of course he recognized the style as being by one of his favorites, so it wasn't a hard sell.Of all the books by this author, this one is my personal favorite to read aloud.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2016

    I love this book, and the illustrations that go with it. I first saw this book in our local bookstore when it was first released. The graphics on the front cover caught my eye (I'm sorry, I do tend to judge books by their cover!). I read it with my son at the store, who was just two at the time, and wound up purchasing it. It became a favorite in our rotation, and he loved to participate in reading it when we pointed to the characters that were not the mother. There was lots of giggling, especially at the end of the story when the Little Owl was about the repeat the story. I've now purchased this book for my nephew, for many people as baby shower gifts (they have a board book version!), and my second child's preschool.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2013

    My 17 month old boy LOVES this story. He loves it so much that I originally bought this in hardcover, but soon realized he wanted to actively turn the pages back and forth, so I needed to order the board back. I think he loves the imagery and the story line, but also it is written in his language. He is always saying "uh-oh" which is how the story starts out and he says "I know" a lot which is what little squirel is always saying and he's a bit of a mammas boy, so especially cute for a mother/son or daughter book. His absolute favorite book we have. He is always walking around asking for Owl book...
    thank you!

    Owlets actually have a very strange way of sleeping. This fact makes the book all the more endearing. When I read it, my granddaughter and I take parts reading the role of the little owl and the squirrel.

    Molto bello! A mio figlio (2 anni) piace tantissimo, lo leggiamo tutti i giorni e si appassiona ancora quando il gufetto riabbraccia la mamma! Sullo sfondo di molte scene si vede la mamma che lo cerca, e lui è sempre lì a indicarla. Versione inglese molto facile, ottima anche per introdurre la lingua.
    Storia molto bella e dal finale un po' aperto, ottima occasione per mamma e figlio insieme.
