About this deal

E un artificiu rotitor. Când am aterizat, băiatul a crezut că sunt un artificiu rotitor. O, nu-i așa că e frumos? Și el a crezut că eu sunt un asemenea artificiu. Lots of children are afraid of the dark, but this story is great for teaching children that the dark isn't so scary after all. It could even be used at home, as well as at school. My son loved Plop's method of getting out of his tree, his 'eeks' and his new friends all confusing him for other falling objects (a Catherine Wheel, a role-poly pudding, a woolly ball). Este... este... oh, nici nu am cuvinte, zise Buf. Dar ai dreptate, Orion. Sunt într-adevăr o pasăre de noapte, până la urmă. Făceam pe interesantul dormind toată noaptea. Nici n-am știu ce pierd. The story is about a young barn owl called Plop, who is frightened of the dark. The plot is divided into seven chapters, each covering a night during which Plop learns something new about the dark: dark is exciting, dark is kind, dark is fun, dark is necessary, dark is fascinating, dark is wonderful and dark is beautiful. Plop is gradually persuaded that the dark has its advantages.

Each chapter titles proves to be very interesting, portraying the many good qualities about the dark: dark is exciting; kind; fun; necessary; fascinating; wonderful; and beautiful. Plop explores these qualities from different characters and experiences during the day time, when he enjoys being outside, gradually changing his perception of the dark throughout the story. This was the first class novel I used when I started my teaching career with a Y1 class in 1990 - the edition I have was published by Puffin in 1973 but the first edition was released in 1968 so it’s 50 years old... but I think it’s a classic that would be welcomed and loved by Y1 children today.Filled with gentle humour and comfort, Jill Tomlinson's animal stories have been enjoyed by children who want to snuggle down with a good read for decades. This edition of The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark is beautifully illustrated by Paul Howard. About This Edition ISBN:

The author describes Plop as fat, fluffy, soft and perfect. Can you think of other adjectives? Can you find synonyms for these words?Make a timetable that shows the things that you do on a typical day. Add the things that Plop does during his day. How are they similar / different? Ce păcat! Toată lumea ar trebui să aibă Moș Crăciun, E nemaipomenit să te trezești dimineața și să pipăi ciorapii, încercând să ghicești ce e înăuntru. After reading this story with children in year 1 during their topic of Light & Dark, it had a great link with various of lessons; light sources, Guy Fawkes night, festivals of light and things that we can see in the dark tent. It was a really useful book for the children to link what they have been learning about in Geography and Science with Light & Dark to what happened in the story with Plop, and it could also link with children's fears of the dark and explaining to them all the positives that happen and that they will see when it is dark outside. It can definitely be used as a cross curricular book in Science, Art, Literacy and Geography with the topic of Light & Dark in the national Curriculum.
