Owen, My Hero

Owen is one of my favorite characters of all times...probably because like Owen, I was very attached to my blanket. How I wish this book had been published when I was a child! As usual, Kevin Henkes' story is charmingly written and illustrated. There is a lot of humor, plenty of which will make parents laugh as hard as(or harder than) their children.

When Owen's busybody neighbor, Mrs. Tweezers, convinces Owen's parents that he's too old to carry around his beloved, yet tattered, blanket, his parents begin a campaign to separate Owen and the blanket. Little do they know the lengths to which Owen will go to protect his blanket. Owen's Mom comes up with a solution that makes everybody happy, even that annoying busybody Mrs. Tweezers! Owen is a spunky, loveable little guy!

Enjoy!!

Lovely clever story

My six year old son still sleeps with his beloved "white blankie" and he loves it with all his heart, just like Owen! He can really relate to this story. The illustrations are beautiful and bursting with colour. It is a pleasure to read! Any child who is attached to a special blankie or cuddle toy will like this story. I highly recommend it!

Sweet

I've had to read this story aloud to my son every night since he was one. He is now two and a half, and it is still his favorite book. When I pause in the story, he easly picks up where I left off and quotes the next line in the story. Unlike some other children's books that I mentally sigh when I see my son pick from off the shelf for a story time read, I have never once sighed for Owen. It is a well writen and cherished book. The illustrations are cute and original and the story is sweet. You'll enjoy

Blanketed Owen

Owen is a marvolous book that made me wander what next. I like
his books because of how well Kevin Hankes illastrates and writes his books. Owen will not give up his blanket until...Read
