What's That Noise?

Reach for this book when your child is feeling anxious about the bumps and creaks of a quiet house at night. It is a perfect choice for children who are transitioning to sleeping in their own rooms or those who have developed a sudden curiosity (or fear) regarding the mysterious sounds that emerge after the lights go out. By centering the story on a zookeeper who is equally puzzled by a strange noise, the book validates a child's sensory experiences while maintaining a lighthearted tone. The story follows George the zookeeper as he wanders through the zoo under the moonlight, checking on various animals to find the source of a persistent sound. The rhythmic search and the gentle humor of the animals' reactions create a comforting atmosphere. At its heart, this is a story about investigation and bravery, showing children that even grown-ups go looking for answers when things seem a little spooky. It is ideal for ages 3 to 7, offering a playful way to demystify the dark through a familiar and beloved setting.
