Product Description
Product Description
A sympathetic and amusing tale of two boys, alone in a dark room at night. Every child (and adult!) has experienced irrational fears in a dark room at night. What's That Noise? encapsulates perfectly the strange shadows and unearthly noises made by objects that, during the day, are perfectly innocuous. Alex and his little brother Ben are all tucked up in bed with the lights out, when "Whoosh", go the night noises, and "Aroo Aroo Aroo". Alex's little brother Ben is scared. Will Alex be brave enough to cross the cold, dark floor to comfort him?

My 2 yr old boy loves this book, he has it read to him several times a night and his imagination changes every time. When I mention the book his eyes become wide and excited, something scary about the book thrills him and he knows now that mummy and daddy are here if he is too scared. Lovely story and he relates it to him and his older brother, a story made for the both of them. We originally borrowed this from the library, now we have had to buy it. Well worth it.

My 2 year-old daughter LOVES this book! We got it for her because she is afraid of the dark. She loves reading this book. She chimes in on the repetition and sound words. She seems to sympathize with the two boys and their night fears. Great illustrations.
