Luke is a very brave little boy, but when night falls he pulls his sheets up over his eyes with fear. He can't get tosleep; he's scared of the darkness that makes his imagination run wild, and he suspects the shadows concealterrifying creatures who are sneaking up on his bed, or hiding behind the drapes in his room. Every sound in thedark is a new peril. But what is actually making the noises in the night
One of the most common phobias experienced by children is fear of the dark. The Night of the Noises and TheNoises of the Night are two versions of the same story, brought together in an original, entertaining book that willhelp children to overcome their fear of the dark, relax and drift off to sleep.
"As an illustrator, I marveled at the possibility that each paragraph gave me, the fantasy of each monster created from the most fearsome noises." --Mara Jos Olavarra, illustrator
