Synopsis: A beautiful and witty picture book charting the journey of Little Owl
who is just 'a bit lost'...Little Owl must be more careful when he is
sleeping...Uh-oh! He has fallen from his nest, and with a bump he lands
on the ground. Where is his mummy? With the earnest assistance of his
new friend Squirrel, Little Owl sets off in search of her, and meets a
sequence of other animals. Yet while one might have his mummy's Big
Eyes, and another her Pointy Ears, they are simply not her. Chris
Haughton's striking colour illustrations follow Little Owl on his quest.
Which of his new friends will lead him back to his mummy? Winner of
Gold in the Children's Book category at the Association of Illustrators
annual awards, this title perfectly captures the timeless anxiety of
separation, followed by joy of reunion, of mother and child. It features
eye-catching artwork from a promising new talent. If you're not tempted
to shed a tear with Mummy Owl when her son is restored to her, you must
have a heart of stone.(Credits to Amazon.com)
