friend, Akeyo. But as she walks, carrying the basket on her head,
various creatures steal her fruits. A monkey takes the banana, an
ostrich the guava, a zebra the orange, an elephant the mango, a
giraffe the pineapple, an antelope the avocado and a parrot the
passion fruit. Handa walks on, wondering which of the fruits her
friend will like best, oblivious to the fact that her basket is now
empty. But then, behind her, a goat charges into a tangerine tree
and fills Handa's basket with the fruit. "Hello, Akeyo," she greets
her friend. "I've brought you a surprise." But when she lifts off
her basket, it's Handa who gets the biggest surprise. Akeyo,
meanwhile, is delighted, because tangerines are her favourite
fruit!;Eileen Browne also created "Through My Window" which was
shortlisted for the Smarties Book Prize (1986), "No Problem", "Tick
Tock" and "Where's my Bus?".

Handa puts seven delicious fruits in a basket to take to her
friend, Akeyo. Which fruit will Akeyo like best, she wonders - the
yellow banana, the sweet guava, the juicy orange, the ripe mango,
the spiky pineapple, the creamy avocado, or the tangy passion
fruit? As Handa makes the long walk to the next village, carrying
the basket on her head, a monkey, ostrich, zebra, elephant,
giraffe, antelope, and parrot steal her fruits, one by one. But
little do they know that Handa has an even bigger surprise in store
Ideal for reading aloud, Handa's Surprise is now available as a Big
Book suited for sharing with groups of young children.
"This picture book throbs with sunshine. A stunning book."

The latest installment in Eileen's Browne's acclaimed Handa series
is a warm, funny story about night-time fears with a cast of
nocturnal animals and a Kenyan setting. When Handa has a sleepover
with her friend Akeyo, the girls are allowed to spend the night in
a little hut near the house. They're excited to be on their own,
but as they get ready for bed, Handa feels more and more nervous.
She keeps hearing things - strange snorts, chitter chattering, a
big thud. Akeyo says it's only her noisy family, but on the
opposite page the reader sees the nocturnal animals who are really
making the noise - and while some of them are familiar, others are
very peculiar-looking indeed! With rich, night-time illustrations,
sound effects, and plenty of curious animals, Handa's Noisy Night
demands to be read aloud and shared - whether in the classroom or
tucked up in bed at home.
