Owl at home is more than a simple sweet childrens story. This book is actually an analogy to Walt Emerson’s essay “Nature” and I am the author. After studying Zen Buddhism for twelve years as a Japanese archer I began to feel within me the spirit of our beloved Owl. Owl is a creature of nature like you and me who exists in a constant search of finding how he exists in relationship to the world. As he explores his role in the world he learns valuable lessons that teach him healthy perspectives until he at last transcends the boundaries he has attempted to define by being content with his good round friend, the moon.

When my son was 3 this was his favorite book. We knew it by heart – he and I both, and we would laugh at owl’s adventures and not so wise solutions reading after reading. My son recently turned 35 and this collection of short stories about owl has delighted his children and numerous young nieces and nephews just as it did him when we first discovered them so many years ago. They are timeless stories that don’t seem to age. Treat a young person you know to the fun contained between the covers of this book and years later you may still be laughing together about some of owl’s funny one-liners – because you both still remember them !

this is a cute book for preschoolers. it puts a twist on ordinary things. i bought it for 4 year old neighbor who noticed the moon seemed to move from his yard to my yard and back. his mom liked the story of the 2 bumps that appeared in owl’s bed everytime he laid under the covers.

We absolutely love all the Arnold Lobel books (especially the Frog and Toad series), but Owl at Home is my 2 1/2 year old’s favorite. It is consistently what he asks me to read him before bed (or any other time for that matter). The stories are very simply worded but profound. Lobel writes and illustrates wonderful little books that are sweet, smart and rich with meaning. I highly recommend any of them, but especially Owl at Home.

So charmingingly simple – my kids (2 – 4) love these tales. If only there were more stories from Owl’s world! “Bunps” – a tale of the mysterious bumps under Owl’s covers that drive his imagination wild had my son laughing and reenacting the story with his own covers at night. This is a fun book for ages 2 – 4.
