7/8/2023 0 Comments Owen by Kevin HenkesAs Owen deals with the daily trials and tribulations of a 4-year-old (going to the dentist, getting a haircut), Fuzzy is called into service on a regular basis. Owen hides Fuzzy in the pants of his pajamas to avoid losing him. Soon Owen's parents are telling him that Fuzzy is going to disappear and be replaced by a toy that is for big boys. Twitter - starts to suggest that Owen is too old for such a thing. Owen's parents don't think much about their son's attachment to his blanket until a nosey old neighbor - Mrs. Owen (the book) is the story of a little mouse who can't go anywhere or do anything without his "Fuzzy." Fuzzy experiences life with Owen, 'eating and drinking' orange juice, ice cream and applesauce cake. I think maybe Kevin Henkes saw us at the park one day and became inspired by my adorable son, and wrote this beautifully illustrated and sweetly written book about a little mouse named Owen who sucks his thumb and has a comfort blanket named "Fuzzy." Henkes probably changed LeLe into Fuzzy to protect the innocent. When the book came out, my Owen had a year to establish himself as a little human being and by the time he was a year old he had a comfort "LeLe" - a Lambchop puppet with a soft wooly fleece and he sucked his thumb. The book Owen came out in 1993 and the person Owen came out in 1992. I would personally like to thank Kevin Henkes for writing the book Owen because it seemed like a gift to me and my son, Owen.
