Three baby owls awake one night to find their mother gone, and they can't help but wonder where she is.
What is she doing? When will she be back? Martin Waddell's tender text and Patrick Benson's stunning illustrations capture the anxious little owls as they worry and the joyous flapping, dancing, and bouncing that greet their mother's return.
Now little readers will be bouncing themselves when they see the fluffy white baby owl they can play with long after the book is closed! A new edition of this comforting classic comes with a cute owl toy to remind the youngest of children that Mummy always comes back.
- The recently updated board book, with a night-blue background and foil typography, is now paired with the owl plush and re-presented in a box to match the book's moonlit finery.
- A Walker classic and backlist essential: never out of print, never out of style.
- Terrific gift for the holidays and for welcoming new babies.
"There aren't many 'baby books' that convey this kind of emotional richness supported by a perfect artistic form." - Washington Post Book World
