Hilda Hen's Scary Night

About this book

Night has fallen and Hilda is late getting back to the henhouse. On her way she sees strange mysterious shapes-a snake a monster-lurking in the shadows. What are these creatures? Where do they go during the day? Children will soon identify the troublesome shapes as everyday objects found in the farmyard-things that can look a lot spookier at night. The wonderful blend of folk-art illustrations and the simple but language-rich narrative makes the well-designed picture book popular fare for story times.-Booklist
