Little Owl hoots loudly for the "BLU-BLU" (a red balloon), garnering attention from concerned and baffled forest animals: "HOO-HOO-HOOO!!!" But when Little Owl eventually finds the missing balloon, she proceeds to pop it into tiny pieces. First published in Switzerland, this third Owl Howl story is rather tame; soft, earthy forest colors convey a common woodland scene.
