Owen

Bibliographic Annotation: Henkes, K. (1993). Owen. New York: New York. Greenwillow Books.

Annotation: Owen is a young mouse who does not want to get rid of or leave his childhood blanket, “Fuzzy”. But, when the next door neighbor Mrs. Tweezers says he is too old for his blanket his parents start to think and begin their quest for Owen to grow out of his “Fuzzy”.

Genre: Picture Book; Caldecott Honor

Grade Level: K-2

Who would like this book: Young readers would really enjoy this book or children who are trying to separate from their childhood attachment (blanket, toy, etc.).

Rating/Response: 5 – I really enjoyed this book, I thought it was extremely creative in illustrations as well as a great representation of a simple way to not have to leave that childhood memory and the sense of home and comfort that it brings you.

One question before reading: Did you have a favorite childhood toy that you brought where ever you went? Did you have a blanket?
