Summary/Back cover:
One night in the Silly Savannah a ludicrous leopard is leapfrogging to bed when all of a sudden there is a terrible racket! The animals decide to follow the noise, but they are in for a big surprise!

Review:
A collection of African animals are disturbed from their bedtime routine because of a noise, which they go in search of - each animal has a different quirky characteristic: a dozy giraffe singing a lullaby, a sleepwalking lion with bedraggled hair, and a polka-dot, pyjama-wearing water buffalo, amongst others, join in the search.

This is a great bedtime-reading book - my son kept trying to guess what was making the noise, and was quite surprised to discover what it actually was. Just when we thought the book was finished, there was another funny little twist at the very end, which made my son laugh!

My rating: 4 out of 5
