The bay owls came out of their house,
and they sat on the tree and waited.
A big branch for Sarah, a small branch for Percy,
and an old piece of ivy for Bill.
When three baby owls awake one night to find their mother gone, they can't help but wonder where she is. Stunning illustrations from unique and striking perspectives capture the owls as they worry about their mother: What is she doing? When will she be back? What scary things move all around them? Not surprisingly, a joyous flapping and dancing and bouncing greets her return, lending a celebratory tone to the ending of this comforting tale. Never has the plight of young ones who miss their mother been so simply told or so beautifully rendered.

韦德尔的作品特色在孩子的情绪和互动反应上尤其能呈现,微小却饱满的情感有着男性作者少见的母性细腻。而大人与小孩关系的处理也成为他作品的一个特色,除了大、小熊系列之外,还有《小猫头鹰》里大小猫头鹰的亲子关系,及Roise's Babies、《月光》(A Kitten Called Moonlight)、《大海》(Big Big Sea)里母女之间的对话等等。
