    Short Description for The Owl Who Was Afraid of the DarkPlop, 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.

  • Brings back my childhood ..5

    Chye Hing Siaw Can't believe I actually found this book again!

    I was 9 or 10 years old or younger then, when I first picked up this book at my local library and borrowed it home. This was the only book I actually remembered from my childhood (besides the Mr Men series), so fascinated I actually copied the entire book and its drawings out onto a notebook! Haha I know it was rather silly (and illegal oops) but that was the only way I could re-read the book then instead of borrowing it every time the loan is up.

    As for the book, it tells a very compelling story of the baby owl called Plop who was afraid of the dark. The language used is simple enough for a roughly 5-7 year old to follow the story, with relevant illustrations alongside the narratives. The story progresses at just the right pace, and the more I read the more I wanted to know about Plop's next adventure. When I finally finished that book I had such a sense of satisfaction, yet I wanted to read it again. Of course all this was way back when I was still young (:

    I believe this will be a great book to read at bed time to a young child, and it is even recommended as a reading material for children who are afraid of the dark themselves ;) by Chye Hing Siaw
