Description

Owl is hosting a Fall Feast, and Platypus—his favorite didgeridoo musician—is joining! But what do you serve someone who is mammal, bird, and reptile?

A funny and relatable seasonal picture book for parents looking to teach 3-7-year-old kids about accepting differences, looking beyond stereotypes, and friendship.


Owl is so excited to meet Platypus—his favorite didgeridoo musician, who just confirmed he'd be part of Owl's Fall Feast! Owl is over the moon! But there is just one problem: What does Platypus eat?

Checking in with his friends offers no good insight. In fact, he learns that Groundhog is lactose intolerant, Hare has an allergy to carrots, Sparrow is a vegetarian, and Tortoise prefers to eat the flower centerpiece!

Will Owl be able to see past his preconceptions of his friends and other species, and be accepting to everyone's differences? 

Full of humor and tenderness, this book teaches readers valuable social-emotional lessons of accepting others for who they are.

This book is a sweet celebration of community. It's also a gentle reminder that when you don't know something, sometimes it's best just to ask.

*Owl's Fall Feast Fiasco* by Kristen Remenar is a charming and heartwarming story perfect for young readers. In this book, Owl is excited to host a fall feast for all of his friends, with one special guest—Platypus from Australia. Owl is determined to impress Platypus, so he asks his friends for feedback on the dishes he usually serves at the feast. However, Owl is surprised to learn that none of his friends like the dishes he thought they would. In the end, Owl realizes that the most important thing about friends is accepting them for who they are, and they all gather around the table to enjoy a wonderful Fall Feast together.

The story is sweet and simple, with lovely illustrations that bring the characters and setting to life. I think the book is perfectly suited for young elementary students, with its message of friendship, acceptance, and the joy of sharing a meal. It’s a great reminder that the best part of any gathering is the people we share it with, not just the food. I would rate this 4 out of 5 stars. It’s a delightful read for the fall season! I received an advanced reader copy from NetGalley and Charlesbridge. Happy Fall!

Owl's Fall Feast Fiasco, written by Kristen Remenar and illustrated by Matt Faulkner, is a beautiful book in both story and pictures, that follows the learning curve experienced by Owl as he tries to accommodate the newest guest to his Fall Feast.
In the process of trying to plan food for Platypus, Owl comes to realize that he has been arbitrarily serving food that his other guests either don't enjoy or can't eat. Remenar deftly tells a tale of the importance of getting input from others, of friendship, and of community, all supported brilliantly with delightful and colourful illustrations by Faulkner. Along the way, readers or those read to will learn more about various animals, and the foods they prefer.
I am happy to have read this heartwarming story of #OwlsFallFeastFiasco, an ARC of which I received from #NetGalley. It is sure to become a family favourite.

A lovely story, with beautiful illustrations. It talks about the importance of friendship and community, and of not just assuming things, but asking if the others like our efforts. The illustrations are beautiful and add a lot to the story

The story gave off a little red hen type vibe. Forest animals tell the story of their plans for a fall feast together, but there are a few problems along the way.
