Product Description

Product Description

Plop is a baby owl. Perfect in every way - except for one. He's afraid of the dark. But he soon discovers, through a variety of new friends, that dark can be fun and exciting and magical.


About the Author

Jill Tomlinson's heart-warming story has been much loved since it was first published in 1968. For this picture book edition, the text has been carefully edited from the original fiction story so it retains Jill's gently humorous style. Paul Howard worked at the Natural History Museum before becoming a full-time illustrator. He lives in Belfast with his wife, three children and dog.

1.0 out of 5 stars The Owl who was afraid of the dark, 29 Jan 2009
By Mrs. J. Ludlow (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had listened to Maureen Lippman reading this book and had given the tape to my grandchildren because I thought it was so wonderful. When I saw the book available, I thought I would buy several copies to give to friends. Fortunately I only bought the one. It is not the whole story - chunks have been omitted, most of the story is not there. So very disappointing and I still have my copy, it isn't, as far as I am concerned, worth giving to anybody. I believe a good story is a good story and that it should stand on its own merit. I never read condensed books; if a story is worth reading, it is all worth reading. Sadly, this one, foreshortened as it is, is not worth reading.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good pictures, the story not as I remember., 24 Sep 2008
By Mrs. J. Oliver (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book has beautiful illustrations and my son loves it. The story is a good one for children who are a bit worried about the dark. However I bought this thinking it would be the same as the one I read as a child, but with nicer illustrations. Unfortunately the story itself seems to have lost some of the more humourous aspects that I remember, like Plop the owl resembling a Catherine wheel when he tumbled out of a tree and his incessant "what's next" at feeding time...gone. I'm thinking about buying the old copy to read (mine is worn out) and showing the pictures from the new book to my son.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 5 Feb 2009
By Mrs. J. L. Riley "Jane" (Essex UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is one of the best children's stories ever! It is particularly well read by Maureen Lipman who really brings the little character to life. An ideal bed time story for young children, I have bought several over the years for nieces, nephews etc. Every child should have one :-)
