I don’t know the title or author; it was a children’s book for preschoolers that was read to me more than 80 years ago. One of the characters was a wise old owl who sat in a tree, saying, “I am thinking important thoughts I didn’t have time to think yesterday.” this line has been quoted in my family ever since to anyone who was staring into space, daydreaming. I have long wondered what the book was. Thanks for any help you can provide.
Maybe (I don’t have the book here): Wise Owl’s Story, by Alison Uttley.
