Noko and the Night Monster

32 pp. | Cavendish | September, 2001 | Trade ISBN 0-7614-5093-9 $$15.95
(3) K-3 Takadu, an aardvark, is afraid of the night monster and needs his friend Noko, a porcupine, to read him to sleep at night. So Noko asks three other animals to act like the night monster and gets Takadu to overcome his fears. Even more intriguing than the well-paced story are the details of Takadu and Noko's life in a South African hut, shown in the high-contrast illustrations.
