Product description

Poor Plop! Baby owlets are meant to love darkness – but he’s terrified of it. How can he overcome his nerves and become a true night owl? Slowly, with the help of the other night creatures, he learns that dark is exciting, dark is gentle, dark is mysterious and dark is kind… This tried-and-tested classic has delighted generations of children. A wonderful look at the unseen side of things, and at all the positive things that night and dark can be, it awakens a curiosity about the world and an appreciation of nature. Cleverly turning a common fear into a source of wonder, it is also a tender and comical tale of facing fears and learning to fit in.

Also available: Read and Respond activities to accompany The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark.

    I rate this book 100 out of 100 because it would give a younger child a great opportunity if they were afraid of the dark.

    I thought it was sooooo cute. I felt for Plop it would be terrible to be an owl and be afraid of the dark because they are nocturnal and at the time I was afraid of the dark but it made me think that there is nothing to worry about. (even though I am still a bit know)I think you should really read it yourself nomatter what age.
