My 2 1/2 yr old daughter loves Lobel books and when I moved "up" from the ones in the Easy Fiction area of the library to the Easy - Reader ones I was very pleased as was she. Very short, simple stories with a very clever and imaginative storyline. Like Mousesoup and Mousetails, the stories are just simply good reading stories that my daughter loves hearing over and over and I dont tire of reading.
A pure and rare jewel August 6, 2006

This book is marvelous. All the stories in this book are so charming, innocent and beautiful. I dont believe my own eyes. Now, all the illustrations are also absolutely wonderful. They are incomparables. As I said, I dont believe my own eyes, because in today's book market (dominated by emptiness, futility and commercial [...]), it is like a glass of pure water in the desert. More, it is a miracle! I read it every night to my children, and cannot put it down myself. I am sad on only one point: I cannot give it 6 stars. Please, buy this beautiful little book to your children. It is a wonderful gift they wont forget. One of these few wonderful souvenirs we all love so much to remember from our childhood.
Summer Reading at its best July 14, 2006

My son's teacher recommended that he read a lot over the summer to keep up his reading skills. We found this and similar books which are really a delight for him to read...the format as a "chapter book" for young readers allows him some challenge yet we can complete a story in one short sitting. The book's humor keeps him interested and anxious to read the next short story to see what Owl is up to next. I recommend this and any Arnold Lobel books for your young readers. Other favorites are the "Frog and Toad" series, also by A. Lobel.

Wonderfully illustrated and written, this book has captivated my daughter's attention for hours. It is her absolute favorite book! The book is divided into compact, highly readable, repeatable, entertaining stories, perfect for the beginning reader. I would highly recommend this book.

I am 33 and have only saved a handfull of books from my childhood. "Owl at Home" is one of them and by far my favorite, then and now. I love reading it to my three year old and I hope that she will save it for her children. The whimsical antics of Owl match the silly atmosphere in our home and encourage original thinking.
