A quiet Nativity story is enlivened by a baby owl's animated curiosity. The owl's hodgepodge of questions about the Holy Child is held together by minimalist collage illustrations, which in their warmth and bold simplicity should hold children's attention despite the total lack of action; the questioning, open-hearted, big-eyed Baby Owl is an appealing stand-in for human preschoolers.
