Virtual Book Club for Kids Featured Book Owl Babies by Martin Waddell
We have included links to the books on Amazon. As an associate, we may earn from qualifying purchases.
Our featured book this week is Owl Babies by Martin Waddell. In this classic book for preschoolers, the 3 little owls wake at night to find their mother gone. They are sacred, what will happen, will she ever come back? She does and there is a great party.
This is a great book to read aloud as it’s one of the big fears of preschoolers being left alone without their parents as well as gorgeous illustrations.
