This is the great old story of a little owl who has lost its Mummy and the journey taken to find her, told many times before, but it is such a good one—a children’s thriller? The text is sparse and simple making it an engaging book for under threes. The illustrations and custom typeface are the real stars, and the behind-the-scenes look on author and illustrator Haughton’s blog is a worthwhile read. The perfect book for a pint-sized Sherlock.
