This is a delightful book with great illustrations aimed at the younger reader.
However, in this edition, which has more pictures than the full text version, much of the humour is cut out from the text. It appears that the text has been slimmed down in order to make it simpler for younger children, which for me is a shame as the humour which really touches young children is sorely missed.

"The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark"
I really loved this story! I'm a big fan of owls. I just love them! This is a wonderful story about an owl who is afraid of the dark and why we shouldn't be.
