Handa'S Noisy Night Av Eileen Browne

<p><b>The latest installment in Eileen''s Browne''s acclaimed <i>Handa </i>series is a warm, funny story about night-time fears with a cast of nocturnal animals and a Kenyan setting.</b><br><br>When Handa has a sleepover with her friend Akeyo, the girls are allowed to spend the night in a little hut near the house. They’re excited to be on their own, but as they get ready for bed, Handa feels more and more nervous. She keeps hearing things – strange snorts, chitter chattering, a big thud. Akeyo says it’s only her noisy family, but on the opposite page the reader sees the nocturnal animals who are really making the noise – and while some of them are familiar, others are very peculiar-looking indeed!<br><br>With rich, night-time illustrations, sound effects, and plenty of curious animals, <i>Handa’s Noisy Night</i> demands to be read aloud and shared – whether in the classroom or tucked up in bed at home.</p>
