Review: Possibly the Best Children's (of all ages) Stories Ever - This is a beautiful story that we've listened to for years. The plot is fun, but what really makes it is the fantastic narration. The narrator has a lovely British accent and voices the different characters ingeniously. Now that our kids are older, we still listen to it from time to time!
Review: Review of "The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark" Book & Plush Set =) - I received this precious little book & plush set as a gift. The set is presented in a pretty little box with a window in the front. The adorable little toy owl looking out at you from inside the box is an automatic, "Awww!" =) The paperback book is a sweet story to encourage children to see the positive aspects of nighttime and the dark. The illustrations are truly lovely. =) I enjoyed a few British words used in the story-- "Wellingtons" and "Father Christmas". When I read the story to the children for whom I nanny, the older ones quickly surmised the meanings of those unfamiliar words (we are in the USA). =) All of the children (ages seven months - nine years) loved the book and have asked me to read it to them again and again. =) The older kids (ages eight and nine) have also read it to the younger ones. =) The story is so sweet. It shows growth on so many levels. As little "Plop", the owlet, makes his way through the story, we see him learning the many ways that nighttime and the dark can be appreciated, as little by little, he overcomes his fear. As he is introduced (by a series of kindly characters) to positive and happy aspects of the dark, Plop's perspective and thoughts begins to change. At the same time, Plop's sleeping habits are beginning to mirror his parents', and his flying skills improve! =) By the end of the book, Plop is a happy little night bird who goes off in the dark to hunt with his parents-- the owly equivalent to "happily ever after"!! =) The tiny plush owlet that comes in this set is ever so cute. =) It fits in the palm of my hand. The children are completely enchanted by it and hold it gently in their hands as if it was a real baby bird! =) They take turns holding it as we read the book. =) This set is so sweet, sure to be enjoyed by any lucky child who receives it! =) Because of the cute presentation, it would make a lovely birthday or baby shower gift. I give this lovely book & toy set five owly stars!! =) *****

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great story and beautiful illustrations.
*by C***Y on November 13, 2017*

Beautiful book that I remember from my childhood! I am a teacher and always read this book when we study light and shadows. It's a very cute story but is British so some of the parts of the story don't make sense in the US! Beautiful illustrations and a good story for all children, especially those afraid of the dark. It's a classic!
