Owen

Kevin Henkes' classic picture book, Owen, tells the story of a young mouse deeply attached to his fuzzy yellow blanket, Fussy. As Owen prepares to start school, his parents gently try to encourage him to give up his blanket, suggesting various methods like dipping it in vinegar or turning it into a 'wish-it-was' box. Owen, however, is resolute in his love for Fussy. Ultimately, his clever mother devises a solution that allows Owen to keep a part of his beloved blanket close, providing comfort and independence. This book is perfect for children ages 3-6, offering a gentle exploration of attachment, growing up, and the loving support of parents.
