Book Review - 'Owl Babies' by Martin Waddell (Writer), Patrick Benson (Illustrator)

"I want my mummy!"

I remember this story from when I was very little. So adorable, and owls are one of my favourite animals.

'Owl Babies' wonderfully captures and conveys a child's anxieties when mum is not around, and it has a dark edge in that respect. It teaches children the importance of parents, and the love and trust that they have and that should be reciprocated by their cared-for offspring (and by everyone, for that matter).

Great reading for Mother's Day.

Final Score: 5/5
