Little Owl Lost Board book – Picture Book, August 27, 2013

My toddler loooooves this story. I have almost all the books from this author. I love reading the stories and my toddler enjoys them as they are short, funny and cute. I also love the illustrations. Kids books these days are total crap so I am happy to have come across these books. unique and imaginative.

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.

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.

Perfect 2 min book for a 2 year old! The riveting story and amazing illustrations will enchant readers of any age, but it is especially addictive for toddlers! "Again!Again!"

Grandson loves this book — very cute. Baby owl tips over and falls out of the nest when he falls asleep and then 2 forest friends help him find his mama…

Very cute board book story about a baby owl that falls out of its nest and is looking for its mommy. A squirrel tries to help find the mommy the baby owl describes but has some trouble :) Definitely recommend.

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!

I was buying a couple other board books by Chris Haughton for my granddaughter and added this since my son loves owls. WE LOVE IT! Think "Are You My Mother?" only this little owl knows and remembers his mother.
