this is a fabulous book. both the illustrations and text are done wonderfully. the images are very bright and vivid and the text has a wonderful flow and it also rhymes. i highly recommeng this book to both the young and young at heart - or just to anyone who loves bread.

the characters and the dialogue are endearing. the illustrations are perfect. my 5 year old son loved it, but couldn't get over the fact that we still don't know what a wing a ding is.

This story centers around little owl who is lost, and proceeds to have page-after-page of dialogue with several animals of where home is.

I got the feeling while reading this book to my children, that the author was a frustrated, unemployed poet, who was reduced to writing children's stories. It read as if the author was trying to emulate Margaret Wise Brown (Goodnight Moon), but falling far short of the mark.

I'd say it's probably best for the 5-8 yrs audience, but I'm affraid they'll be bored. 3-4 yrs. won't get it. The story has moments of tranquility, but has more moments of confusion.
