The book I am looking for is pre-1970, I believe. It is about a grumpy owl who is getting upset with the pixies (?) who are having a party and keeping him awake. Finally, the party is over and it gets quiet. Then he hears crying, and finds a lost child in an acorn cap. I don’t remember much else, but I believe the owl took him back to his family.

New format, same book stumper solving.
This sounds like an Elsa Beskow book. Perhaps it’s Woody and Little Pip?
No, but thanks for the suggestion. I believe it was all black & white, and it was just the owl and the child for the characters. I don’t think it was a very big book. I’ve been looking for this book for over 45 years! Isn’t it funny how some things stick in your mind and never go away?
