Owl Babies

By Martin Waddell

Illustrated by Patrick Benson

A board book edition of Martin Waddell and Patrick Benson's classic, reassuring tale of three loveable little owls home alone.

A beautiful board book edition of a bestselling modern classic, this is the story of three baby owls, Sarah, Percy and Bill, who wake one night to find their mother gone. And as the darkness gathers and they perch patiently on their branch waiting for her return, oh how they worry! What are those scary noises all around them? What is mum doing? When will she be back? Never has the plight of young ones who miss their mum been so sensitively told or so beautifully rendered as in this tale from picture book masters, Patrick Benson and Martin Waddell.

'The best owl family is in Martin Waddell and Patrick Benson’s Owl Babies. Sarah, Percy and Bill live in a tree trunk with their owl mother. One day they wake up and find she has gone. They know that she has gone hunting for them and they know how dangerous that can be. The three owl chicks spend a long, long night waiting for her return. How they keep their spirits up and survive until Owl Mother returns is stunningly shown in Patrick Benson’s evocative illustrations which capture all small children’s terror at the disappearance of their mum!'
