Owl At Home in our hearts May 22, 2000
Owl's adventures with The Guest, Strange Bumps, Tear-Water Tea, Up stairs & Downstairs & The Moon are passionate & dramatic. Tear-Water Tea is my favorite & my children would beg me to read this one over & over again. Tear-Water Tea is a bitter-sweet brew. This little book & the friendly, affectionate Owl were one of my children's best friends in their early years. They loved the ideas of looking at life the way Owl does, they blink in anticipation as the stories gather speed & they hoot with laughter at Owl's take on life, then they snuggled with satisfaction when it's all done & we've talked about it...
Transcending with Owl February 16, 2000
Owl at home is more than a simple sweet childrens story. This book is actually an analogy to Walt Emerson's essay "Nature" and I am the author. After studying Zen Buddhism for twelve years as a Japanese archer I began to feel within me the spirit of our beloved Owl. Owl is a creature of nature like you and me who exists in a constant search of finding how he exists in relationship to the world. As he explores his role in the world he learns valuable lessons that teach him healthy perspectives until he at last transcends the boundaries he has attempted to define by being content with his good round friend, the moon.
Owl at home is a classic December 6, 1999
This book is a timeless classic. There are five stories featuring the adorable Owl. The stories are simple and cute. Little kids will feel good about themselves as they read it on their own, and adults will be touched by the pure sweetness. If you like Winnie the Pooh, you'll love this book.
Tear-Water Tea December 6, 1999
My mother read this book to me and my sister when I was four or five. Years later I had forgotten most of the book, but the concept of Tear-Water Tea stuck with me. During a conversation with friends when I was in college, something came up that made me think of the 'things that were sad' that Owl thinks of to make his tea. I absently remarked, "Spoons that have fallen behind the stove and are never seen again." and a friend automatically said, "Pencils that are too short to use." After a chorus of, "You read that book too! " I called home and asked mom, "Remember that book...what was the title?" And bought my own copy. "Owl at Home" is a 'beginning readers' book, but it's perfect for all ages. Younger children will enjoy having it read aloud and adults will laugh at Owl's escapades along with the kids.
Imaginative and sensitive children's book October 13, 1999
"Owl at Home" is one of the most entertaining and sensitive children's books I have seen in a long time. Owl is such a comfortable, cozy figure who is filled with wonder and owl-eyed fascination with his world. When Owl makes tear-drop tea, his behavior transcends silliness and becomes almost tantric. This whole book is a treat!
