Recensione:

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! --Julia Ecceshare The Guardian Online
