"Scary Night" by Lesley Gibbes received an Honours Award through the Children's Book Council Awards in Australia. It is not scary at all and would be a terrific companion text for other picture books like "Rosie's Walk" (directional language) and "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" (repetition of location language). You can read a review of it by clicking on the image below.
Or, you can read a guest post from the author Lesley Gibbs here. Two Year 6 girls from Covenant Christian School in Sydney, Australia, have posted a book trailer for this new picture book on YouTube.
