Owl Howl Board Book

by Paul Friester, Philippe Goossens (Illustrator)

Overview

Everybody's favorite owl—now available in a sturdy board book format!

Who is that in the forest, howling and howling? A wolf? No. It’s a little owl. Everyone in the neighborhood—from hedgehog to crow to squirrel to mole to stag beetle—tries to comfort the little owl. They rock her in a large cobweb. They give her a nut. But even the mole’s necklace of flowers does not calm her down. What on earth could be the matter?

"Owl Howl is perfect for parents and children alike, the woodland creatures each representative of the various stages of patience and understanding in caring for an inconsolable child.
