About the Book
So many strange sights and sounds around Baby Owl! He frets about the scary world and wonders who will watch out for him. Mama Owl envelops him with love and helps him understand that as he grows, he will learn all about the world. She will be there to protect him until it is time for him to soar on his own.

A sweet story about parental love.
 
My Review
This picture book about baby and mama owl is absolutely delightful. Charmingly illustrated with bright, bold, colorful characters. Mama replies in sweet calm soothing responses to her owlet’s fears. Toddlers are sure to want to hear this story often.
 
Baby owl trembles at the new world around him: the flutter of wings, the snap of underbrush, the reflection of glowing eyes at the edge of the meadow. Each time baby wonders “Whoo’s out there!” Mama lets him know that he has nothing to fear. When at last he feels safe, he is able to look around and marvel.
 
Whoo Whoo Who’s Out There is a reassuring tale of a parent’s love and understanding, and helping a child grow into independence naturally. Excellent advice underneath a treasured storyline. Recommended as a great gift for parents and grandparents everywhere.
