Little Kiwi and the Goodnight Sing-Song features Little Kiwi, who's ready for a snooze, but there's a catch—what's that noise? Lift the flaps and help him find the perfect sleeping spot with no birds, no frogs, no bugs, and no pesky noises!

This is a funny lift-the-flap story for Little Kiwi fans, written by bestselling author Bob Darroch. It playfully explores the pesky sounds and other 'reasons' that might keep someone from sleeping.

Yikes, what's that noise? All Little Kiwi wants is a bit of shut-eye, but his sister and her friend are having a lively sing-song. Off he goes, seeking a quiet spot for his nap. However, it turns out there are other creatures making music, too.

This is a funny and relatable tale for little ones, illustrating the challenge of dealing with noisy interruptions when trying to sleep. Bob Darroch's signature humour offers enjoyment on different levels for both adults and children.
