Everybody in the Red Brick Building was asleep. Until . . .

WaaaAAH!

Rraak! Wake up!

Pitter patter STOMP!

Pssheew!

A chain reaction of noises wakes up several children (and a cat) living in an apartment building. But it’s late in the night, so despite the disturbances, one by one, the building’s inhabitants return to their beds—this time with a new set of sounds to lull them to sleep.

Everybody in the Red Brick Building by Anne Wynter has been highly praised for its use of onomatopoeia and the rhythmic rise and fall of sounds, making it an engaging bedtime read. The book is noted for its dynamic and richly coloured collage art by Mora, which complements the warm and cosy scenes. Its urban setting and diversity offer a universal appeal, making it an excellent addition to children's bedtime books, with the art and prose working harmoniously to charm readers.
