About this book
Five sleepy friends swaying in a hammock hear a strange sound in the dark and go to investigate. Feeling their way, each animal touches a different part of something big and imagines it’s something else entirely. This playful, suspenseful tale invites kids to predict, compare, and talk about what they notice. With bold art and simple text, it’s perfect for read‑alouds, preschoolers, and emerging readers.
Setting: a jungle/forest at night
