"Discover all the noisy animals in this lively, bright and beautiful picture book." Inclusive Books for Children The third instalment in Eileen's Browne's beloved and acclaimed Handa series is a funny story about nocturnal animals set in Kenya. When Handa has a sleepover with her friend Akeyo, the girls are allowed to spend the night in a little hut near the house.

They’re excited to be on their own, but as they get ready for bed, Handa feels more and more nervous.

She keeps hearing things – strange snorts, chitter chattering, a big thud.

Akeyo says it’s only her noisy family, but on the opposite page the reader sees the nocturnal animals who are really making the noise!With rich, night-time illustrations, sound effects, and plenty of curious animals, Handa’s Noisy Night demands to be read aloud and shared – whether in the classroom or tucked up in bed at home.
