PS
Little Owl doesn't like the too-itchy, too-long, too-orange scarf that Mommy knit for him, so he tries losing it, finally ditching it successfully at the zoo. While Owl happily wears the soft, just-long-enough, not-orange replacement, readers will notice a long-necked zoo giraffe sporting the castoff. Spare line drawings with a limited color palette set against white space complement the story's simple charm.
