Praise for Owl Babies

Listed in the 'Top ten essential books for every family' Sunday Business Post

'Touchingly beautiful' The Guardian

'Beautifully produced, the illustrations capture the atmosphere of the dark wood superbly.' Leinster Leader

'Taken singly, the words and pictures for Owl Babies are each worthy of note, but together they make for something which is much greater than the sum of its parts. The words of Martin Waddell's simple storyline are caught and echoed and heightened by Patrick Benson's drawings ' The Big Guide to Irish Children's Books
