It makes me so happy when the mum comes back. I think the little babies are sad when their mum is gone

I like the the little owl saying 'I want my mummy'. I also liked it because I read it to my brother. It was good because mummy owl came back. I would recommend it to others.

Great story

If I could change it, I would change it to fox babies because I like foxes. They’re orange and I like the colour orange. The mum flew off, the owls got scared and mum came back and I like the details about it. I liked the baby owl.

I liked it when I was younger, I feel a bit older for it now.

It was sad that they didn’t know where their mummy was.

I didn't like when the mother went away, where was she? It was good when she came back. My favourite character is Bill because he loved his mummy at the end.

Kept her interested. Sister used to love this book and is proving equally as popular the second time round. Great for learning about how mummy always comes back if child is going through separation anxiety

It is so cute! I like it because the owls weren’t sure if the mother owl would come back and she did.
