Little owl lost sidell

During the National Reading Days of 2012 we read the picture book Little Owl Lost that we already bought in 2011. Only later did we understand that you could buy a small edition of the picture book with a finger puppet during the National Reading Days.

The book is so funny and the little owl so cute, but don't worry, we are going to make a cuddly little owl ourselves. Together with the Little Owl fans, here, at snazzie. The book has now been read 86 times again :))
