(3) K-3 On their special spring picnic by a mountain lake, (human boy) Max goes looking for flowers and his owl friend, Marla, falls asleep, leaving their food at the mercy of hungry squirrels. Picnic ruined, the disgruntled pair returns home without speaking. But Max's affection for Marla brings them together for a nighttime living-room picnic. Inviting ink and watercolor illustrations subtly lend each friend personality throughout their relatable tiff.
