Owl Howl

by Paul Friester, Philippe Goossens (Illustrator)

Overview

Little Owl howls and howls. Everyone in the neighborhood—from the hedgehog and the crow to the squirrel, mole, and stag beetle—tries to comfort her. They rock her in a large cobweb. They give her a nut. But even the mole’s necklace of flowers does not calm her down. Could it be that she just needs a hug?
