Hello Jane,

I believe the book you are looking for is Oliver, the Wayward Owl. Here is a link to a copy that is for sale on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Oliver-Wayward-August-Derleth-Illustrated/dp/B004U34SO2 

Best of luck finding the right title!

Hello Library World!
 
I would like to ask for your help for one of our patrons.

She is looking to find the name of a book about a baby owl named Oliver.  When he was learning to fly, he got lost in the woods.  A line from the book that she remembers is "The moon came up and Oliver shivered".

She thinks it is circa 1943 or 1944.

I haven't been able to find anything about a book that old with the character she is looking for.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
