Every child would love the sweet stories about Owl. (And for that matter, also Frog and Toad, by the same author.)

If you can find a version with included CD voiced by the author, Arnold Lobel, even better. We are enjoying these now with a second generation of children, and often gift these to other young families.

Good for all ages, actually, as I too enjoy these stories. Over the years, I have found myself quoting the passages when appropriate.

A plus for parents, the stories can be read in a few minutes, so tired little ones aren't kept up too late, and I don’t get bored.

Same author as the Frog and Toad books... I love this Owl book. I read it to my niece when she was little and got one for my son years later. He's 8 and we still love reading this book together. The stories are so creative and help us create such sweet memories since we reference them in normal life. Whenever we drive home at night and can see the moon, I say to my son, "Hey, should we invite the moon to come stay at our house tonight?" He plays right along and says, "But what if he's too big to come inside?" :)

We've been reading this book almost every night since we got it last week. My 7 year old can't get enough of this silly owl. There are 4 or 5 stories within the book, each one is unique and displays Owl's charming naivete. My daughter's favorite is Teardrop Tea in which Owl thinks of "sad" things to induce tears into a kettle so he can heat them up and have teardrop tea. These sad things include chairs with broken legs, spoons that have fallen behind the stove never to be seen again, and books that cannot be read because some of the pages have fallen out. Another story has the nutty Owl contemplating how he can be upstairs AND downstairs at once because he likes both places so much. In another story, Owl flips out when he sees two bumps at the foot of his bed, which turn out to be his feet, but he never does figure that out and finally goes to sleep downstairs where he says he'll be "safe". Little kids should get a kick out of how daft Owl can be at times, but it's in a loveable way. He's found his way into our hearts and we look forward to reading more Owl books!

A curious cousin to Lobel's  Frog & Toad  series, Owl at Home is five short stories compiled into the only Owl book Lobel wrote. Which is unfortunate because Owl is one of my absolute favorite characters from childhood, and one I enjoy sharing with my kids today. The bumps at the foot of Owl's bed are so easily turned into a fun bedtime game while Owl's frustration with Winter always brings the giggles.

First published in 1975, Owl at Home lands right in the middle of the Frog & Toad years, with  Frog & Toad Are Friends  (1970) and  Frog & Toad Together  (1972) on one side, then  Frog & Toad All Year  (1976) and  Days with Frog & Toad  (1979) on the other. It is my favorite period of Lobel's, coming into his own as a writer while honing his skills as an artist. His collaborations with  Jack Prelutsky  certainly influenced his works, and by 1981 he finally won the Caldecott Award he'd been nominated for several times before.

And at the heart of that success was Owl: our feathered anti-hero who cries into a teapot and befriends the moon. I loved it as a young boy, and I love it now as a parent reading it to my own girls. Pick up your copy today!

Conosco le opere di Loebel da anni, e' un genio. Qusto libriccino parla di un gufo ma in realta' ci fa cogliere domande, ansie, timori, dei nostri bimbi, anche la forma di un piede sotto le coperte di notte puo' spaventare chi e' piu' piccino e si trova davanti a un mondo grande a volte un po' inquietante. Il libro ci porta a riflettere su questo dato e ci fa capire che non dobbiamo dare per scontato che i bimbi vedano il mondo come noi, o prendere sotto gamba i loro timori, le loro domande, ma rispettarli e proteggerli. Ci costringe ad assumere il loro punt odi vista. E ci fa divertire facendoci pensare. DA LEGGERE con i bimbi! bellissimo
