Zola's Wiggly Sleepover
Every house makes different noises at night.
It's Zola's first-ever sleepover at Nana's house. There's cocoa and old photos and a snug reading nook, and it's the best night ever — right up until the lights go out. Then the house starts talking.
CLANK goes a something. A low moaning OOOooo. A tick... tick... tick. A scratch-scritch-scratch at the window. But then Zola remembers who she is: “I'm a NOTICER. A sound I can name won't feel scary.” So she hugs her bunny Plum and goes to find them, one by one — the clanking radiator, Nana's wind-up clock, the wind in the eaves, a branch tapping hello on the glass.
This one's for the child who…
- falls apart at bedtime somewhere unfamiliar
- is frightened of the dark or of night-time noises
- has a first sleepover, hotel stay or hospital night coming
