Plop is a baby barn owl, just like every barn owl there ever was, except for one thing: he is afraid of the dark. But the dark turns out to be brimming with magic. As Plop ventures into the night he meets a boy watching fireworks, a black cat who takes him exploring and a girl who tells him about Father Christmas, and one by one they show him all the wonderful things the dark can be. A warm, reassuring retelling of the beloved classic for the very youngest readers, perfect for bedtime and for any little one who finds the dark a bit frightening
