Praise for this book
A stunning literary and visual achievement. --- Irish Times
Baby Owl has fallen out of his mom's nest and he has no idea how to find her. With the help of a squirrel, he tries to describe his mom. Can he find her? This easy reader has simple, eye-catching illustrations. The characters are well-drawn and it is easy to tell what they are. The text is simple, grammatically correct, and repetitive, so young readers can easily learn the words. Some words are not the most common word used in Spanish, so young readers will have an opportunity to learn new words. Fans of animals and Are You My Mother will enjoy reading this book. ---NetGalley-Librarian
Complete with a happy ending and a hint to an additional adventure this book has humor, repetition, and cartoon-like drawings that every kid will love.This picture book has a cover that kids will reach for, with a very sweet little owl. More abstract representations and subdued colors extend the range of whom it might appeal to, as I would read it again at eleven to practice my Spanish.Told entirely in Spanish, Un Poco Perdido will appeal to native Spanish speakers, beginning Spanish speakers (like me!), and even those that don't know any Spanish at all as the tale is so universal and well told in pictures. It reminded me a little bit of the classic, Are you my mother? by P.D. Eastman. Un Poco Perdido will be a hit and one that kids will return to again and again.---Kids Book Buzz
This is precious, and I love the artwork, and I enjoyed practicing my Spanish. This will be one I'd consider getting for my 3-year-old, for sure.---NetGalley-Reviewer
Chris Haughton manages to deliver a potent dose of suspense and surprise for a dynamic narrative full of wide-eyed creatures and vibrant forest landscapes, designed and art-directed with a kind of craftsmanship and creative vision that make the turning of each page an absolute treat.---- Brainpickings
The art does a wonderful job of conveying movement and encouraging page turns. This little gem will work equally well in storytimes or one-on-one.--- School Library Journal
With instinctive skill, Haughton uses spreads of the forest to establish atmosphere and set up jokes, then delivers punch lines with spot illustrations that zero in on the animals' dopey but lovable expressions. --- Publishers Weekly
The illustrations are simple and brightly colored, but they have a certain charm that is very attractive. I like the emotional style of the art, and the way you can feel the movement and action in each scene.---Luminous Libro
