Bauer, Marion Dane. A Mama for Owen. Illustrated by: John Butler. Simon and Schuster: 2007. ISBN: 978-0-689-85787-4.
Owen is a hippo who lived with his mother until rain fell and the river ran fast, and Owen got washed away from his mother. After getting washed away onto a different shore Owen has to find a way to survive. Can Owen find a different mother to take care of him? A Mama for Owen is a fantastic book, I liked how they tell the real story. I recommend this book to grades first through third. I like how they make the pictures look so realistic with water colors.
