review 1: We LOVED this one. I had to read it over and over, and I didn't even mind too much--and eventually the kids memorized it and read it over and over themselves.Little Owl falls out of his nest, and a squirrel enthusiastically tries to help Little Owl find his mother, based on the owlet's descriptions of his mother. Squirrel's enthusiasm outweighs his competence, and he finds several other animals, but no Mother Owl. Luckily, the Frog that Squirrel finds when Little Owl mentions that his mother has big eyes has a bit more sense, and the family is reunited.The pictures remind me a little of prints or wood cuts, and the colors are darker, but beautiful.My kids especially liked telling me what animal Squirrel had found on each attempt.
review 2: My story time audienc... moree chimed in with Uh-oh and was very engaged in the story of an owlet who goes searching for his mother after falling out of his nest. A helpful squirrel has Little Owl describe his mom and then helps in the search - Owlet's partial descriptions lead to some very funny situations. The simple comforting text combines well with the brightly colored illustrations and was very pleasing to my story time audience. less
