This clearly written, instructive, and entertaining book explains the noises children may hear--and fear--in their homes, including the trickle of the refrigerator defroster and the creaking of wooden floors. Ritchie's whimsical green-and-yellow-tinged illustrations contrast the real and imagined explanations for each noise and depict oversize household items coming to life. Hand this to young scientists and young insomniacs alike.
