Bill the Owl Baby is inspired by a gorgeous children’s book - The Owl Babies by Martin Waddell with wonderful illustrations by Patrick Benson. The book is perfect for bedtime with your little one. There he is, sitting on his old bit of ivy, waiting for his mommy to return.

A copy of the book and a soft cuddly owl would make a lovely present for a new baby too!
