This is precious, and I love the artwork, and I enjoyed practicing my Spanish. This will be one I'd consider getting for my 3-year-old, for sure.

This is a sweet and well illustrated story about a little owl who falls from his nest and needs help finding his mother. A helpful chipmunk tries to help him and asks what she looks like, leading to misadventures as the little guy describes her feature by feature (big eyes, pointed ears, etc.) and is led to creatures who are not at all his mama (a frog, bunny, etc.). Ultimately, they reunite and mama offers the little owl's new forest friends cookies in their nest.

My 8 year-old daughter and I read the Spanish version of this book (Un Poco Perdido). My youngest kids and I have all been studying Spanish in our homeschool and this was a fun supplement to that because of the sparse text. The font is rather square and can be hard to read for early readers or those who aren't fluent in Spanish (a's and o's can be hard to differentiate, for instance), but it's still a charming little book that young kids are likely to enjoy. The art is colorful and fun, and the story is simple and sweet.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for the purpose of review.
