Loved it
One of our core texts for our topic animal magic.
I thought it was good.
It makes me so happy when the mum comes back. I think the little babies are sad when their mum is gone
I love the owls and they are so cute especially bill who always says ‘I love my mummy!’
I read this with my mum and it was very cute the little
One saying ‘I want my mummy
I like it because when the other two owl babies say things the little owl baby just says I want my mummy!
I like it when the owl mother came back say the very end of the book
I love owls and these ones are so cute!
Bill is the cutest
Really enjoyed this book about Sarah, Percy and Bill.
My favourite character in the book was Bill because I liked it when he cried for mummy!
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.
I love this story book! The pictures are really good too! The owls are very cute, and I was happy for the owls when mummy returned.
A very nice bedtime story
I enjoyed really the book. Because at the end the mummy owl returns.
Love the baby owls in the book. Such a lovely story and great illustrations
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.
I liked when the babies wanted their mummy
It's my favourite. I like the Bill because he's the smallest.
I liked Bill.
I think he was the youngest
I liked the baby owl who kept saying I want my mummy

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.
