The Owl who was Afraid of the Dark

The classic story about a cat in danger of using up all of her nine lives from the author of The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark.

 Suzy is a little striped cat, who lives in a French seaside village with a fisherman and his four sons. Like all cats, Suzy is very inquisitive, which causes problems when she climbs into the basket of a hot air balloon - and is carried off over the channel to England! How will she ever get back to France? It won't be easy, but Suzy refuses to be put off by a bit of water.

 Jill Tomlinson never intended to be a writer. She trained as an opera singer, and then decided to have a family whilst her voice matured. But illness intervened, and she had to find another outlet for her energies. She started on a journalism course, and by the third lesson decided she wanted to write for children. So she did! Jill Tomlinson's animal stories are much-loved and have been best-selling children's books for nearly four decades.

The Cat Who Wanted to Go Home

Plop a peur du noir. Voilà qui est bien ennuyeux quand on est une petite chouette. Elle reste donc au nid lorsque ses parents partent chasser et se réveille le jour, pleine d'entrain. Curieuse, elle descend alors du grand arbre où elle est perchée et fait d'étonnantes rencontres. La petite chouette va-t-elle se laisser convaincre de devenir un oiseau de nuit ?

La chouette qui avait peur du noir

'I loved this book as a little girl and listening to my own children reading it has brought back so many wonderful memories. A comforting story to help children face their fears and grow in confidence with the help of others.' - HRH The Duchess of Cambridge

 Plop, the baby owl, is like every barn owl there ever was, except for one thing - he is afraid of the dark .
