I ended up owning a copy, but it disappeared over the years and I don’t know what happened to it. But I bought a copy of it for my ...
...unlike a well-loved bear – the wear and tear is showing. Its creased cover and curled pages are a sign of success. This book has been read and re-read, hidden under the duvet for late night reading in semi-darkness, hidden under the pillow til morning.

Review of The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark - Jill Tomlinson

Nearly every child in my class went out during the term to buy the whole set of books. I have also produced a set of worksheets that go with the novel as we have decided as a school that we will use Jill ...
