Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-K-Little Owl has his likes (adding numbers, eating ice cream, riding his scooter) and a definite dislike: his new scarf. He tries his best to lose the "itchy," "too long," and "far too orange" present, but his mother always finds it. When he returns home from a school trip without the hated accessory, his mother tells him she'll knit another one, "and this time we will do it together!" Feeney's minimalist line drawings humorously and subtly convey Little Owl's emotions. The orange scarf trails across the pages, gets stuck inside a suitcase addressed to Peru, and finally ends up warming the neck of a giraffe at the zoo. The spare text sparkles with warmth and wit and the theme of being allowed to make choices will resonate with children.-Linda Ludke, London Public Library, Ontario, Canadaα(c) Copyright 2013.

From Booklist

There’s no accounting for taste. Little Owl’s mother has knitted him a long, warm, orange scarf. And he hates it. It’s not that Little Owl is negative—he loves adding numbers, eating ice cream, riding his scooter, and, usually, surprises—except this one. To Little Owl, the scarf is itchy, too long, and way too orange. He does everything he can to lose the scarf, but the wise mom owl always finds it. Until Little Owl’s class goes to the zoo, and he makes one giraffe very, very happy. Feeney’s line-and-wash illustrations ramp up the charm throughout, depicting our owls in spare blue with a dab of orange on their tiny beaks. The offending scarf, by contrast, is large and assertively orange. A satisfying lesson in listening and cooperation is given when the mother offers to knit another scarf but this time with Little Owl’s help, from visiting the yarn store onward. And guess what? It isn’t orange. Preschool-Grade 2. --Connie Fletcher

My sons love this book. It’s short and sweet but funny enough to keep them asking for it every nite. They never tire of it and I never tire of reading it. I have two kids aged three and six years old.

The preview didn't give you much to go off of but I took a chance thinking why would they charge 9.87 for a kindle version if it wasn't good. Within minutes I was very disappointed. I would have paid two dollars and some change but not 9.87. Feeling a bit ripped off.

1.0 out of 5 stars これでいいのか？感しかないです（汗）
Reviewed in Japan on April 3, 2019

ネタバレすみません。
最初ママが作ってくれたものが気に入らなくて、どこかでなくしてきて、今度は気に入るものを作ってもらって、よかったネ、というお話です。途中も話はとぶし、何のひねりもなくそのまま終わるしで、これでいいのか！？しか思えなかったです。
作ってくれたママへの気遣いも感謝もなく、なくしたことへの本人の対応も反省もなく（ママが探す手配をしてくれて、なぐさめてくれるだけ）、「今度は一緒に作ろうね」という部分（たぶん、ここが作者が強調したかったテーマなのだと思うけれど）でも全然一緒につくってないし、肩透かしでした。気に入らなければ、大事にしなくてもいいのか！？　好みでないものへの対応を学べるような絵本だったらよかったのですが・・・。
読み終わって、子供と一緒に、「最初の◯◯はどうなったー！！？」と叫んでしまいましたよ。

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
This is a nice short story, ideal for bedtime, for young children. Both my one year old and three year old are enjoying it. It has some cute pictures and it is just a gentle and fun book. It seems to be well written, and has successfully got both my girls into owls! It seems to have triggered their imaginations in some way. What more can you ask of a children's book- they love it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Odd lesson
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 15, 2014
Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
We found this book a little bit odd as it seems to be teaching something opposite to what you are always saying to your child.

A little owl has an orange scarf he does not like so on a trip to the zoo he loses it and his mum goes and buys him a scarf he does like and everybody admires his new scarf. So if you don't like something get rid of it and you will get a new one? Not the best lesson.

On the plus size the illustrations are simple but beautiful and despite how the story ends there is something chRming in the tale. Our little boy will listen to the story and remembers it but never asks for the book. It's an ok book but not the biggest hit with our little one.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product( What's this? )
We had Feeney's previous book and this is equally good. Both my kids, aged 2 and 5, enjoy the story on different levels. The youngest loves the pictures, the simple loss of the scarf and creating the new one, my eldest can appreciate the subtlety of the Owl's deliberate loss of the scarf because of his own preferences. It's a good example of well-meaning mums not always getting it right!

Lovely art, great text.
