Bedtime Hullabaloo!

On the Silly Savannah cheetah and giraffe each have a bed with a counterpane to match their markings. But neither of them can sleep for a terrible racket HHHZZZ-ZZZ! Cheetah leads the hunt for the culprit with giraffe, baboon, a hat-wearing hyena and a ukulele-playing meerkat in the vanguard. What mighty animal could possibly be making such a noise? None other than a tiny shrew…

Charles Fuge paints the animals in a realistic style heightening the droll and bizarre impact of the illustrations. 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.
