A whimsical look at nighttime bumps, thumps, creaks, and squeaks. Featuring amusing color pictures and lyrical rhyming text, Bumps in the Night offers mostly reasonable explanations for spooky sounds a child may hear while trying to go to sleep. Klutzy family members, a noisy neighborhood, even a fire-breathing furnace all take the stage during the course of the night. Then again, not every noise is so easily explained. Where’s the fun in that?
