Our pick of the week for Mother's Day 2013 is Little Owl Lost, a terrific picture book by Chris Haughton. This brilliant book was chosen as Picture Book of the Year in the Netherlands. During The National Reading Days of 2012 it will be read out loud in all Dutch schools and Day Care Centers
The story immediately starts with a disaster, Little Owl has lost his mum! Any toddler who has ever 'lost' their mom will immediately recognize themselves in Little Owl. Fortunately, here is Squirrel, who comes to help Little Owl. The funny story and the simple collage prints in a trendy colour scheme appeal to both parents and kids.
The Dutch Vitalis cluster Pedagogy has made a very clever, super fun song to go with the book and posted it on youtube, Our little monsters know it by heart already and we love to share it with you for your little ones. The only 'disadvantage' of this awesome book for Mums, you have to read it over-and-over again! ;))
3 sparkling stars for A bit lost, from the snazzie mini-monsters! And just wait for it, after Mother's Day also from the mummy readers!
