The Owl Who Stole The Moon

Reach for this book when your child is struggling with the concept of collective ownership or experiencing 'the gimmes' regarding a shared space or object. It is a perfect choice for those moments when a toddler or preschooler wants to tuck a piece of the world away just for themselves. The story follows a curious owl who, captivated by the moon's beauty, decides to take it down from the sky. As the woods fall into darkness, the owl must confront the consequences of his possessiveness. It beautifully explores themes of empathy and fairness, making it an ideal bedtime read for children ages 3 to 7 who are learning that the most magical things in life are meant to be shared. You will appreciate how it turns a potential lecture on sharing into a gentle, atmospheric lesson on the importance of community and the natural order.
