When a little boy tries to fall asleep, he is kept awake by all the late-night noises around his house. From the hisss of the heater to the whieee of the wind, these noises soon lead to great adventures . . . This is a first picture book for co-authors Beth Raisner Glass and Susan Lubner. Beth is a junior primary teacher, and was inspired to write the story when her eighteen-month-old son was kept awake by all the strange noises in the family's new house. She wrote the story to entertain, but also to help children put into perspective the unknown things that scare them. With her friend Susan Lubner, Beth honed her story in verse to get the rhyme and the rhythm just right, through 40 drafts. The result is a fun text that is easy to read aloud.
