Owl Babies (+ DVD)

In this board book for prereaders by Hans Christian Andersen Medal winner Martin Waddell, three owl chicks awaken one night to find their mother is missing. Little Sarah, Percy, and Bill become increasingly worried, but she soon comes swooping home again. Patrick Benson's delicately hatched ink drawings are washed with watercolors to evoke the big dark night. A DVD comes with the book, featuring a short film of the story and narration by actress Emilia Fox.
