He sat on the tenth step because it was a place that was right in the middle. "When I am up," said Owl, "I am not down. He runs very fast up and down the stairs. "There must be a way," said Owl, "to be upstairs and to be downstairs at the same time." When he is downstairs, he always wonders how things are going upstairs. When he is upstairs, he wonders how things are going downstairs. Owl always wonders about the parts of his house he is not in. Then he boils his tears for tea and drinks it.Īgain, just the exact right combination of 'fun' and 'creepy as fuck.' Children will be delighted. Owl thinks of things that are sad in order to cry. Of course, the "joke" is that Owl is lying in bed terrified of his own feet.Ĭhildren will find this scary, yet ridiculous, in a way you swear no one could pull off, but Lobel does. "What if those two strange bumps grow bigger and bigger while I am asleep?" said Owl.
#Creepy tale 2 owl movie
The little ones will be reading this book, and then when they are teenagers looking for a scary movie they will pop in THE GRUDGE or maybe JU-ON and the will get the shit scared out of them and they will remember this little story. This scary, frightening tale is a precursor to the Grudge. Owl is going to bed when he sees two strange lumps under the blanket. This is one of my favorite stories in life. Owl sat down in his chair and quietly finished his supper. The hard, green ice turned back into soft pea soup. It covers the inside of Owl's house in snow.įinally, Owl kicks Winter out of the house.

It freezes the soup and puts out the fire. Owl decides to be kind and let Winter into the house. Owl was just trying to sit in front of the fire and eat his buttered toast and hot pea soup when he hears someone knocking on the door. But for me, the best Lobel book will always be Owl At Home.ġ.) The first story, THE GUEST, is about the time Owl heard a banging and pounding on the door. Some people adore Frog and Toad Are Friends and the other Frog and Toad books - I agree. Not only was Lobel a great author, but his illustrations are on point. I always read children this book and children continue to talk about and love this book. Even though this book was published in 1975, it is still very beloved and a classic for children nowadays.
