Description

Plop, the baby owl, is like every barn owl there ever was, except for one thing – he is afraid of the dark…

The dark is brimming with excitement and magic. As Plop ventures into the night, he meets a boy who shows him fireworks, a black cat who takes him exploring, a girl who tells him about Father Christmas, among other surprising discoveries…

A sumptuous slipcased hardback edition of the much-loved abridged picture book.

This uplifting story about finding the courage to face your fears has been beloved of parents and children for decades – and its message of resilience is as timely as ever.

Filled with Jill Tomlinson’s gentle humour and heart-warming illustrations from Paul Howard.
