About This Book
A parent would reach for this book when their child is experiencing a phase of nighttime jitters or is expressing curiosity about scary things but still needs the safety of a cuddle. It is a perfect choice for those transition moments before bed when a child wants to be brave but ultimately needs the reassurance of a parent nearby. The story follows Little Baby Mummy as he plays hide and shriek in the Egyptian night, encountering various spooky but ultimately friendly creatures like a clacking skeleton and a whooshing bat. While the night feels deep and dark, the repetitive and rhythmic text provides a sense of security. It is a comical, gently suspenseful read that helps children aged 3 to 7 understand that even the things that go bump in the night are often just as scared or friendly as we are. Most importantly, it reinforces the unbreakable bond between parent and child, ending with a warm and satisfying tuck-in.
