The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark
Jill Tomlinson, Paul Howard
“One of our absolute favourites” – Zoe Ball
‘‘Utterly beguiling’ – Lucy Mangan, Guardian Plop, the Baby Barn Owl, is like every Barn Owl there ever was, except for one thing – he is afraid of the dark. ""Dark is nasty"" he says and so he won’t go hunting with his parents. Mrs Barn Owl sends him down from his nest-hole to ask about the dark and he meets a little boy waiting for the fireworks to begin, an old lady, a scout out camping, a girl who tells him about Father Christmas, a man with a telescope and a black cat who takes him exploring. Perhaps there is magic in the dark after all . . . Filled with gentle humour and giving comforting reassurance to nightime fears and anxieties, Jill Tomlinson’s animal bedtime stories have been enjoyed by children for decades. This edition of The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark is beautifully illustrated by Paul Howard.Reviews

If you’re scared of the dark, maybe you can look at the stars above you. This will make you not scared because stars can light the way. The book is lovely because the owl learns that the nighttime is not scary after all!

I really liked the owl. Every time the owl tales to someone, they called him something different.

The owl who was afraid of the dark is a really good book and it is about an owl that at the start hates the dark but at the end thanks to some friends he meets he loves the dark.
