Little Kiwi wants to have a sleep but wherever he tries, there is too much noise, or smell, or tickles in his feathers!

His little sister and her friend are singing. Snail is munching his lunch loudly. Kaka is snoring and Bat frightens him out of a nice dark hole. So many other places are noisy too!

Will Kiwi ever get a place to sleep?

The newest in this popular series of Lift the Flap Picture Books for young children, Little Kiwi’s search for a quiet spot to sleep finds all sorts of native creatures in the bush. The large flaps reveal the creatures one by one, and the funny  illustrations will bring lots of lovely giggles.

This very NZ story makes a great bedtime read. On a deeper level, a talk about any night noise fears can be approached with a nervous child or troubled sleeper. All the noises Little Kiwi hears all come from creatures and things he knows well – not scary at all.
