5-8 Infant/Junior
A small boy is woken by an awful noise. What can it be? The mystery is suspensefully but sensitively, and not too scarily, handled through illustrations of dark and light, as toys, tools, animals and the elements are in turn dismissed as the source of the din. The rhyming text shines out pleasingly from a small white square amid the pictures. Pleasing, too, is the resolution to the mystery. Fives, sixes and sevens will find it anything but 'boring'.
