Oh, that book! The owl! I was a teenager going through a breakup (a la Romeo and Juliet) when I took a babysitting job for some kids who had this book on their "we love to read it" before bedtime routine. As I read it to them, I wept and wept and wept. The next day the mom told me that the middle child woke them up in the middle of the night with a nightmare about a chicken who had "too many teeth!"
