    Mr. Owl's Pie: A Story for Kids
    Aug 9 2025
    Mr. Owl does not want pie. Not even a bite. At least, that's what he keeps telling everyone and that's what he keeps telling himself. Only, it isn't true. He has tried to follow Dr. Owlington's orders, but it is getting rather difficult. And when Mrs. Owl announces her plan to bake Mr. Owl's very favorite kind of pie for an upcoming charity bake sale, Mr. Owl cannot stop his beak from watering. But he wouldn't eat the pie...or would he? Listen to find out what happens in this heartwarming, entertaining tale of Mr. Owl's battle with himself over a mulberry rhubarb pie topped with cricket crumble.
