Little Owl falls out of his nest, and Rabbit helps him find his mother again. Owl describes his mother but it takes a few tries. Great voice! Love Rabbit's "yes yes I know..." tone.
The illustrations are bright bold and an usual style, and the design choices work: some full page pictures, some mostly white, and a groovy modern font. Overall, picture book perfection.

Little owl is sleeping and falls off the roost. A squirrel sees it all happen and tries to help Owl find its mother. Reminiscent of Are You My Mother by Eastman, yet more simple.
The illustrations are bold colors, with simple detail. One of my Mock Caldecott picks.

Weird touch to the illustrations. I really liked the cover but the rest seems unfinished! Funny story but it's not amazing.

For: woodland animal fans; readers looking for a silly book with textured illustrations.
Possible red flags: separation of child and mother; getting lost.

I liked the cute story. Helpful squirrel, much more practical and helpful frog, vaguely uncautious mother.
The colors of the illustrations are right out of the '70s. The cover is the color of vomit so very popular in that decade. I'm also not a huge fan of the digitally rendered illustrations. The illustrator manages to create characters with a lot of depth and personality but the crappy quality of the digital pictures is distracting from the story. Another medium would have been better, I think.

Read this for a library storytime and it was a big hit! The kids were guessing what crazy animal squirrel was going to find next and laughed every time he got it wrong. Very cute book, great art.
