My favourite owl is Percy. I like it when he says ‘where is my mummy?’

Very nice book. I like it when mummy reads it to me and she makes the book swoop down when the mummy comes back. This book is my grandma's favourite actually. Bill is so cute. Sarah is calm and Percy panics a bit. The mummy probably wanted a break.

I love Owl Babies because the owl mother came vack so it has a happy ending

Owl Babies is a beautiful story that captures the anxiety and longing young children feel when separated from a parent. It follows three baby owls (Sarah, Percy, and Bill) who wake up to find their mother gone. As they wait in the dark forest, each owl expresses their worry in their way. In the end it is a joyful reunion when their mother returns. Little Bill stole my child's heart. His simple, repeated line—“I want my mommy!”—is heartbreaking. His vulnerability makes him the most relatable and lovable character. Absolutely. It’s a great pick for bedtime reading. Owl Babies is a must-read.

I liked Sarah, Percy, and Bill sitting close together on Percy’s branch while they waited for Mummy Owl. My favourite part was when Mummy Owl came back to her babies. It made me feel happy and safe.

It was fiction story and love for the mom unconditionally

I liked Bill best and I think Bill is very young so he was very scared.

It makes me so happy when the mum comes back. I think the little babies are sad when their mum is gone
