Summary: Tear-Water Tea
Review: 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.

Summary: Delightful, humorous selection of short stories.
Review: Owl At Home is a wonderful childrens book full of the sillyness of the character Owl. Children will delight in the loveable Owl and the short stories about his antics. Owl At Home can be read aloud to very young children and is also a excellent early-reader for an older child.

Summary: Transcending with Owl
Review: 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.

Summary: Owl is a hoot!
Review: Owl At Home is the only 'Owl' book that Lobel produced. Composed of five delightful tales, children will be delighted at the antics of owl and his misunderstandings! In the story, The Guest, Owl invites winter into his home with all of her fury! Snow is everywhere and his pea soup becomes frozen. Shooing winter out the door, winter closes the door with a bang and Owl settles down once his fire is lit and warmth seeps back into this home. His soup thaws and Owl is once again contented! Strange Bumps is hysterical as Owl tries to figure out why there are two bumps at the end of his bed, under his covers! Owl's gyrations under the bed and under the covers are guaranteed to bring many laughs! Owl cannot figure out where they came from or why they will not leave. He finally settles into his easy chair in front of the fire to get a good night's sleep! Tear-Water Tea is delightful as we see Owl cooking is favorite tear-water tea with his own tears. He thinks of all the sad things he can, such as mornings nobody saw because everybody was sleeping and pencils that are too short to use. Filling up his kettle with his tears, he is ready to enjoy his favorite tea! A tad bit salty for me though. Upstairs and Downstairs depicts Owl running up and down his stairs to check on how the upstairs is doing and how the downstairs is doing. Owl does this all day long and into the evening and he discovers how tired he is and he cannot be in two places at once! Owl and the Moon is a cute tale of Owl befriending the Moon. Owl knows that the Moon cannot fit through his door, and it saddens him that the Moon, his friend, cannot come into his house. Getting ready for bed, Owl notices that Moon is shining outside and has indeed followed him home. Going to sleep, Owl is no longer sad, as his friend is right outside his door. Another wonderful Lobel, which is sure to delight and please readers young and old alike! I wish that Lobel had written more books on Owl!!

Summary: Owl At Home in our hearts
Review: 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...

Summary: Owl at home is a classic
Review: 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.
