The little owl then wonder of the things he personally loves.. stars shimmering, fireflies, frogs calling out to each other and a lot more. The little owl tour through the forest to look at all of the things he loves and stopped to ask a raccoon what he loves. Before setting down to sleep little owl express to his mom that he loves mushrooms.

Little Owl visits his friends, asking them what they love. Along the way, Little Owl discovers things and people he loves.
It's sweet, and the illustrations are sweet.

It's a cute, gentle read, though the story felt a little disjointed and awkward. Unfortunately, because of that, it's my least favorite of the series.
I appreciate Divya trying new illustration styles. There were some lovely additions. A large part of me wishes that she had waited to release the book to apply that style to the rest of the illustrations. I think it would have really elevated it.

Cute and sweet.

I can see why this is such a popular series. This story has a positive, gentle plot that emphasizes wonderment related to creatures that many people find cute (owls, raccoons, hedgehogs) and ones that aren't typically as beloved (mushrooms, spiders, opossums, moths).

Divya Srinivasan's "Little Owl's Love" is a very cute and lighthearted picture book. I would rate this book with five stars because of its excellent word usage and very detailed illustrations. Compared to other picture books I have read prior to this one, I would say that this one has been my favorite and deserves all five stars. I learned so much about myself and what I love, along with learning about the importance of friendship and exploration throughout this book, and I think those are such important qualities for a book, especially a picture book that is made for younger kids and our world's next generation of learners and readers. With this, while reading the book, the whole time I was grinning from ear to ear in awe of the message that was being portrayed. I love how the book allows students to dive into topics like nature, exploring, curiosity, friendship, love, and even parental love and bonds. When reacting to the book, I also couldn't help but admire the illustrations. They were very bright and unique with so many details, all while somehow looking simple and neat on the pages. For example, in the middle of the book, you can see so many different creatures and their families, along with different living habitats in the ground, water, trees, and even in the sky. That can be a great opportunity to introduce different animals and their habitats, as well as ask questions about what the students see and why they think a certain animal might be in a certain spot. For example, why the fish are in the river, or why the bats are out at night. With this, this book is great for younger students.
I would recommend this picture book for kids that are ages two to five, or preschool to first grade. I do think that this book would only be appropriate for older kids that are in first grade or higher if they have reading disabilities or overall learning disabilities due to its use of smaller tier two and three vocabulary words. This picture book is perfect for ages two to five due to its simple, yet perfectly illustrated pictures and visuals. With this, it has a great range of vocabulary words that are good for young minds to learn and understand. Along with the words and illustrations, the overall theme of the book is about love, friendship, learning not to take things for granted, and how to appreciate nature and the world around us. These themes are excellent topics for young children to learn about because it can enable them to grow up to be kind and loving people who are willing to learn and read.
With all of this kept in mind, I would personally use this book in the classroom by creating a read-aloud that focuses on the new vocabulary words that are located in the text and how they can be connected to certain activities that take place in the book. Throughout the read-aloud, I will go over the vocabulary and ask questions while reading to keep the students engaged and entertained (ex. "curious", "snuffling", "Little Owl loves playing with his friends and finding new things with them. Can you think of anything that you love to do with your friends?"). After the read-aloud, I would love to create an activity that allows students to draw and explain what they love. For example, I could make a printed out worksheet that has different sections; each section asking them to draw something they love that is a certain color or from a certain area. For example, "What is something you love that is the color blue?" and "What do you love most that can be found in our classroom?" Once their worksheets are completed, I would hang them outside of our classroom door under a poster that states "What Does *Classroom Number* Love?" Overall, I really enjoyed this picture book and I would highly recommend it to other preschool or above teachers and parents.

LITTLE OWL'S LOVE is a sweet board book about love. Little Owl is flying around and noticing the things his friends love - but what does he love? Little Owl finds plenty of things he loves, such as the shimmering stars, but most of all, he loves his friends.
What I loved: This is such a lovely book that introduces the concept of love and all the things (and people) that we can have the feeling for. Little Owl is a sweet character, and I loved visiting his friends alongside him and considering love. The font is large and clear, making it easy to read even in low light settings, such as at bedtime. The board book format is great for the littlest of readers, who may also consider the things they love in their own lives. Adorable illustrations give plenty to visually explore along the journey.
Final verdict: LITTLE OWL'S LOVE is a sweet board book about love that will work well for young toddlers.
Please note that I received an ARC. All opinions are my own.

Once again this adorable little owl is exploring and enjoying life with his friends in the great outdoors. This story shows that sharing what you love deepens your love for those things by sharing it—shimmering stars, fireflies, wondering about mysteries in the forest. My youngest daughter and I thought this series was so cute.

The Dolly’s Imagination Library July 2024 Pick. The illustrations are gorgeous, but the story is just kind of meh. I honestly don’t even know what the message was supposed to be? Finding love in small things? Overall, it’s just a solid 3/5 stars ⭐️ and I wouldn’t buy but it would be a good book to receive for free as either a gift or from the library.

Little Owl runs across Hedgehog who has just discovered a cache of mushrooms. Hedgehog is happy because he loves mushrooms, which leads to the question, "What does Little Owl love?"
As Little Owl explores the forest for the rest of the night, he ruminates on that question. This is a nice exploration of things to love in nature.

I haven't read any of Little Owl's other books, and I normally am easily bored by stories like this, but the poetic simplicity of the language belies the depth of emotion and experience it conveys. And Little Owl is so gosh-darned CUTE!

7/8/23: Such a sweet little book and I have always loved the Little Owl illustrations. I would highly recommend and since this is the final in the series, I'll have to keep my eye out to see if she publishes anything else in the series.

October 31, 2025The art is better than the story in this one. The art is really unique and lovely, but the story is very fragmented. I suppose that's the nature of him just noticing things as he goes along, but it's not that compelling or well-structured.

The other books in the series are better. But like the other titles, something feels a little off about the language. But these are cute books with forest animals that appeal to kids.

Little owl flies around pointing out things they love with their friend Raccoon. Illustrations have bright colors with high contrast. About 1-2 sentences per page.

Very sweet and can go well with nature appreciation or discussions about interests and friendships.

A sweet, quiet story.

I love little owl, they're just cute books

Read it. Clean-edges illustrations of realizing how many amazing things there are out there in the world to live through the eye’s of a little owl and his friends.
February 10, 2023
Really cute, with a premise to look around you and be thankful for the things you see. To find the good and share it.
February 14, 2023
I expected a lot more from the story. This isn't particularly good or meaningful, in my opinion, especially when there are so many other better about loving friends, family, and home.

cute cute

My favorite part was when they love to hear the crickets and animals. The owl enjoyed being around others. The importance of friendships that are valued both ways.

Little Owl thinks about all the things in the forest that he values when his friend tells him about how much he loves mushrooms.
A sweet reminder of the importance of finding joy and belonging.
