DESCRIPTION:
Jonathan Allen has created many fabulous picture books for children. His observant and subtle wit appeals to children and adults alike. His Baby Owl series has brought Jonathan international success.
But every animal he meets thinks he's so cute, fluffy, and huggable! Poor Baby Owl. "I'm not cute!' he shouts. Welcome back, Baby Owl! With visions of himself as a “huge, scary, sleek, sharp-eyed hunting machine,” the adorable little creature goes out for a walk in the woods. It's a real hoot that every kid will relate to.. Then Mom comes along—and she agrees, before coming up with the perfect solution
Methinks the owl doth protest too much My situation is a little different from most. I work with four other well-trained, well-read, fabulous children's librarians. That means that when a new children's book hits one of our desks, everyone starts salivating simultaneously. And if it's especially good the claws come out, the teeth bare, and the hair pulling begins. In the case of "I'm Not Cute", however, people were kept fairly civil if only because the book's such a short read. But guess who got to bring it ho. Five Stars fluffybird This book is priceless!! I'm reading it to my 4 month old daughter every day.. Martha B. Spencer said A winner of a book. I checked this out to take to the beach for my "A winner of a book" according to Martha B. Spencer. I checked this out to take to the beach for my 2.5 yo granddaughter. She loved it and we read it over and over. I ended up buying a copy for her because she loved it so much.. .5 yo granddaughter. She loved it and we read it over and over. I ended up buying a copy for her because she loved it so much.
A fresh story line and (sorry, Baby Owl) cute cartoons make this a crowd-pleaser.–Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. Similar in style to Sandra Boyntons work, Allens minimalist, black-outlined watercolors capture plenty of facial expressions. All rights reserved. From School Library Journal PreSchool-K–When Rabbit, Fox, and Squirrel take turns hugging Baby Owl, gushing about his adorable features ad nauseum, the youngster grimaces and grumbles, insisting that hes a huge, sleek hunting machine with great big see-in-the-dark eyes. Mama Owl resolves the problem at bedtime when she pairs both compliments in an acceptable fashion.
