It's a wonder I haven't read Tomlinson's children's classic before. I was given this as part of a book exchange for Christmas at my local book group (on strict instructions to return it safely to its owner as it was a cherished favourite within their family).It's a very Ronseal kind of book as it is indeed the story of Plop, a young barn owl who would rather be a Day Bird than a Night one - and how they overcome their fear of darkness.
The result is a short read which has quite a lot of charm, and provides plenty of opportunities for audience participation if you are reading it aloud.
I may even read it to my night owl missus who is also afraid of the dark...
Verdict: Cute and funny
