Note: I received an F&G of this book at an ALA conference. ( )

Little Owen talks too much! it is all about him and what HE says. Unfortunately Owen gets laryngitis and has to begin living life without talking, only listening. The speech bubbles from all Owens chatter are overwhelming at the beginning of the book but they lessen as he learns to listen. Such a valuable lesson for all children, especially the chatter boxes who can never seem to stop and understand that you can gain wisdom from listening too.
