Illustrated by
Philippe Goossens.
In response to a little owl's howling, various forest animals take turns trying to determine the problem and stop her tears. The bulbous-eyed owl is uncommonly sympathetic thanks to Goossens's illustrations. When the owl is back under her mom's wings, readers will exhale with relief--before they grin at the punch line. Previously published in a smaller "tuff book" edition.
