From the Publisher
Fox, Rabbit, Squirrel, and Mouse are worried. As Owl flies off to a faraway wood, they watch him get smaller and smaller. Will he disappear altogether? Off they go to rescue their friend. Young viewers will chuckle knowingly, realizing that it is distance that is shrinking Owl and not anything sinister. With the wit and wisdom that characterize all of her books, Pat Hutchins entertains her audience with fun and gentle humor. Ages 4 up. Grades P up.
About the Author
Pat Hutchins, one of seven children, was born in Yorkshire, England, and grew up in the surrounding countryside, which she still loves. At a very early age she knew that she wanted to be an artist and was encouraged by an elderly couple who would give her a chocolate bar for each picture she drew. A local art school offered her a scholarship and she studied there for three years, continuing her training at Leeds College of Art, where she specialized in illustration. Her career in the children's book field began with the highly acclaimed Rosie's Walk, a 1968 ALA Notable Book. Since then she has written five novels and created more than twenty-five picture books. She was awarded England's prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal in 1974 for The Wind Blew. Pat Hutchins lives with her husband in London, England.
