Description:

Emily Brown and her faithful rabbit, Stanley, are trying to get to sleep — but a strange Splish-Splosh noise outside keeps interrupting their bedtime. It turns out to be a mysterious, crying "Thing," and no matter what Emily and Stanley try, nothing seems to help it settle down. As Emily works out just what the Thing needs, the story gently and cleverly explores the very real fear of the dark, showing that scary things are rarely as frightening as they first seem. Told with warmth, humour, and plenty of charming twists, this witty bedtime tale is perfect for children working through nighttime worries, paired with Neal Layton's playful, expressive illustrations that bring Emily's world to life.
