Would you listen to The Owl Who was Afraid of the Dark again? Why?

Yes, we downloaded this for my two year old son, who is now very curious about owls. He listens to this over and over, and it can buy his tired parents an extra half-hour of sleep while he listens.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, the characters are interesting, and the story is engaging.

Any additional comments?

A good book to help little ones learn about new things - like flying in the dark.

Keeps my toddler in bed for an extra 40 minutes!

I had a cassette tape of this story long ago, so I was excited to hear it again. They chopped all of my favorite parts of the story out and made it into a shell of the story with added science facts thrown in. I was so disappointed.
