Great Kids Book November 28, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I still remember this from primary school, so it surely must be a great little story. I also remember being slightly tickled, as a 7 year old, by the fact that the Owl is called Plop, he he. If I have kids I'll definitely read it to them.

Recently, a very close friend of mine who went to school with me reminded me of this book. Our year two teacher had read it to us when we were younger. It must have been my favourite book of the time.
It is about a little owl who is too afraid to venture out of his nest at night. Along his epic journey to get over his fear, he meets all kinds of children who help him.
It is a wonderful book. If you have small children or younger brothers or sisters, do consider getting this for them. Its a lovely story.
My Favourite Childrens Book July 10, 2006

This book was one of my favourite books when I was a child now 20 years on it is the only one of the childrens books I read that still holds a special place in my heart, now with a 3 year old son of my own I am determined to get a copy for him as I am sure that he will love it just as much as I did and still do.
The owl who was afraid of the dark - fantastic August 12, 2005

My primary school teacher read this book to me and my class mates when I was 5, I'm now 23 and expecting my first baby in 7 weeks. I ordered a copy because I really do think this is the best bedtime book ever. I remeber heads on jumpers on desks in our little infant classroom listening to plop's adventure!! Sheer brilliance!!
The best bedtime storybook ever written June 29, 2004

If you know a little someone who is afraid of the dark, then this book will cure them in one week ... guaranteed!The story is about a young barn owl called Plop, who has the same problem. The plot is divided into seven little chapters (read one per night until cured). Each one is a satisfying tale in which Plop learns something new about the dark each night: dark is exciting, dark is kind, dark is fun, dark is necessary, dark is fascinating, dark is wonderful ... and dark is beautiful. Plop isn't convinced immediately, but by the seventh night he's looking at the dark through new eyes! This is without doubt the most perfect bedtime story book ever written. It has been loved by children for generations - and will doubtless continue to be a firm favourite!
