Owen is a mouse that has a fuzzy yellow blanker. He takes his blanket everywhere and his blanket loves to do everything Owen loves to do. Owen's parents thought it was time for Owen to give up his blanket so they told him about the "Blanket Fairy" that takes blankets and leaves fabulous treats. Owen hid his blanket from the fairy and the next morning Owen's parents were disappointed and tried to convince Owen to give Fuzzy up. Owen wasn't ready. Owen's parents tried many other tricks and nothing worked. Finally, Owen's mother came up with a fantastic idea that satisfied everyone.
I love this story because I know there are so many children that have a special something that they don't want to give up before school begins. This book could teach them about how to cope with letting go and how to compromise with parents about their "lovey" as some children call it.
The colors in the illustrations are very vibrant and the illustrator uses different brush strokes and ink strokes to show textures. One page shows Owen standing on a rug and the brush strokes are very thick and bold to show the rough texture of the rug.
