Three owl babies live in a hole in a trunk of a tree with their Owl Mother. One day they went to sleep and woke up and found their mother was missing. Owls think a lot and wondered where there mother could be and if she was taken or just gone to get them food. They were worried but there mother came back and the owl babies were as happy as can be.

This is a fantasy book because the baby owls talk to each other, and in real life, owls don't talk or fret. ( )

Owl Babies is a book about three owl babies and their mother. The mother owl left the nest and the three babies were all worried about where their mother went. Two of the owls know their mother will come back but the other owl cries "I want my mommy". Mother owl comes back and explains how much she loves them and that she would never leave them.

This is a really cute book. It shows even though all three owls have the same mom, they all have individual personalities. This would be a good book to teach the students that everyone is different in person and their thoughts.

You could talk about owls and how they live. They could draw an tree with on owl family in it. They could also collect things from outside and make a nest like what owls live in. ( )

Three little owls help console each other while they wait for their Owl Mama to return. My kids have outgrown the book but I still see them reading it sometimes. I'll be keeping this book for (I hope) grandkids. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0763617105, Paperback)

A tender tale to remind the youngest of children that Mommy always comes back.

"I want my mommy!" 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? What scary things move all around them? Stunning illustrations from striking perspectives capture the anxious little owls as they worry. Not surprisingly, joyous flapping and dancing and bouncing greet the mother’s return, lending a celebratory tone to the ending of this comforting tale. Never has the plight of young ones who miss their mother been so simply told or so beautifully rendered.
