Owen loves his blanket and he’s getting big, so his parents are trying to take it or have him give it up. He’s about to start school and he can’t take it with him. There are many cute scenes of him and his blanket. They come up with a great ending to the story of how Owen does give up the blanket. It’s a smart idea. That blanket is very gross after all it goes through.

This is a beginning story. It’s cute, but the art didn’t stand out for me.

The nephew loved the picture of Owen and his blanket on the toilet. He laughed and laughed at that one. I think the nephew got this story and he gave this 4 stars. He liked it. This was below my niece and she only gave this 2 stars. She is tired of the young books.

Shainlock I feel for the guy. Poor guy. No one should ever have to give up their blanket. Just wash it and teach them where it is appropriate to have it. Some ppl are like that with pillows. And bears and things. I’m just not one of those ppl who likes taking things away. Just teaching them um. Like nooo we don’t take it on the potty. It’s yucky. Haha.

Hey Shaina. I agree. They will give it up when it's time. It's more that the parents are embarrassed. But or also, I really like how the story handled it and what they did. It was great.
