I love this story because I'm afraid of the dark and it makes me brave enough to not be afraid of the dark. My favourite part was when the cat came into the story.

YES I will recommend the book to someone. I like the owl the most, Because he was afraid of the dark. The book interest me because all the other people thought the dark was beautiful, But the little night owl thought the dark was horrid.

I liked it because Plop didn't like the dark and at the end he ended up liking the dark.
Plop was my favourite character.

It’s a kind book that makes people not be afraid of the dark

I thought this was a good book. The owl was asking everybody about what was so good about the dark as he did not like it at all. I do not like the dark so this was a good book to help me understand things about it.

I liked this book because I have read the novel of this and this was a shorter version. It is a great story to learn how not to be afraid of the dark.

This book was about a little owl who was afraid of the dark, so his parents send him to find out more about the dark, he met some people and they told them about how the dark was fun and beautiful. Then Plop wasn't afraid of the dark anymore.

My favourite part is when the little owl Plop was not afraid of the dark anymore because he got help and find out that the dark is exciting and fun and kind.

I like it because Plop is very cute. And my favourite reason is dark is necessary because it’s important for Father Christmas to come!

It is a good story telling me about darkness. The baby owl found out what everybody felt about the dark. The dark can be fun, beautiful, necessary, kind, wonderful and exciting. I think I like the dark because it’s exciting, the little owl also said it is exciting in the end, not afraid of it any more.
