(Children's Literature Review )Product Description
One night in the Silly Savannah a ludicrous Leopard is leapfrogging to bed and a hat-wearing Hyena is half asleep when all of a sudden there is a terrible racket! The animals decide to follow the noise, but they are in for a big surprise - a tiny shrew and her snoring. She is rudely awakened, only for the animals to slump into a heap fast asleep and start their own snuffling and snoring. Time for shrew to get her own back.

Format:Paperback
This is a great book for little children. Brilliantly written. Children will want to recite phrases in the book that will cleverly help develop new language. Wonderful illustrations that enhance the writing. Most of all, it is warm and funny!

"The text is big, bold and a pleasure to read aloud, starting out as prose and breaking into rhyme with plenty of alliteration, onomatopoeia and repetition throughout to add to the fun."- Books for Keeps "A book packed with animal fun that is bound to make the small people smile."-Writeaway "There's lots of fun to be had with the playful language in this beautifully produced picture book, and Charles Fuge's stunningly colourful illustrations are almost luminous. A treat for children of 4+ and the adults who read to them."- LSE (Books of the Month) "Vivid and detailed illustrations set against deep pinks, purples and blues of the evening and night sky make this book a visual delight."-Nursery World Magazine "This wildlife trail unfolds in a romp that's brightly coloured with plenty to spot and laugh at."- Junior "Fabby, we really liked reading this Bedtime Hullabaloo story. All the animals are suberb and the ending is wonderful."- Totz2teens 5/5 "Bedtime Hullabaloo" by David Conway is a romp to read aloud. Full of alliteration and sound words..."- Post-Tribune "This great read-aloud makes wonderful use of incorporating alliteration, unusual vocabulary and some rhyming text. The illustrations are amazingingly detailed and funny. But the children will be delighted most of all to see what is making the hullabaloo!"- SWON Libraries "A very highly recommended read."- Midwest Book Review "Full of lovely humorous touches." -School Librarian TOP TEN BOOKS FOR MAY Madeformums "This alliterative, onomatopoetic romp will elicit many giggles at bedtime. On the "silly Savannah a ludicrous leopard was leapfrogging into bed" when he heard a terrible racket. Following the hullabaloo he passed a sleepy singing giraffe, a book-reading baboon, even a hat-wearing hyena among others, and each decide to join him in locating the source of the cacophonous din. To their surprise, the noise was not made by a "raucous rhinoceros" an "ear-splitting elephant" or a "crazy monkey" but a tiny, pink tutu-wearing shrew. Her mighty snores were keeping them all awake. They wake her from her "thunderous slumber" and fall in a heap sound asleep with loud grunts and snorts of their own. But they will need to watch out; shrew has the last laugh. From beginning to end this tale is a perfect gem. Rich vibrant watercolors with bold touches of whimsy bring life to the animals of the Savannah. The parade of sleepy animals--some in pajamas, some clutching teddy bears--dancing and cavorting in the moonlight is perfectly captured in a silhouette double spread. Full of energy and movement, it begs the reader to pause and enjoy each illustration and carefully chosen word. A word of caution--be prepared for cries of "read it again, read it again."- Children's Literature Review
