Kate went on: "We can all feel scared sometimes, just like our little owl friend, Plop. But, as Mrs Barn Owl said, it’s better to find out about the things that scare us before we make up our mind.
"And with the help of others, we can often face things that worry us. Now it's time for bed. Night, night, and sleep tight."
