I read this book with a group of pre-school children. They fell in love with it. They made text to self connections. They also had fun acting out the story.

They had so much fun with the book I had to read it each day for a whole week having different students come up and act out the parts. This book is wonderfully written and illustrated. I believe that children of all ages would enjoy it. It is a great book to talk to children about fear. They can relate to the owls fear of missing their mother.
