Bookroo's summary

Little Owl is not thrilled about a new sibling. As his mommy's egg sits waiting, he imagines it could hatch into anything—a penguin, a crocodile, or even a dragon! But as his imagination runs wild, Little Owl begins to wonder if a baby owl might be the best surprise of all. This charming tale explores the mixed emotions of welcoming a new family member, with delightful illustrations capturing Little Owl's journey from uncertainty to acceptance. What will Little Owl discover about family and love?

From the publisher

A heart-warming board book about preparing for the arrival of a new sibling, from a bestselling author and illustrator pairing. Little Owl’s mommy has laid a beautiful egg with a new baby owl inside, and Little Owl isn’t pleased. He’s her baby owl–she doesn’t need a new one! But what if it’s not an owl inside the egg? What if it’s a baby penguin . . . or a crocodile . . . or a dragon?! It’s fun to imagine, but maybe a baby owl is the best thing after all. Master storyteller Debi Gliori explores the feelings involved in the impending arrival of a new sibling in this sweetly silly and heartwarming story, lovingly illustrated by bestselling artist Alison Brown.
