Noko and the Night Monster
by Fiona Moodie; Frances Lincoln Children's Books
Ages 4-8
Takadu the aardvark and Noko the porcupine are roommates and share a hut in the Mbombo hills. Takadu, however, is scared of the Night Monster, so Noko helps him fall asleep each night by reading him the weekly wool prices. Doesn't sound like a lot for Noko, does it? So Noko comes up with a trick to pull on Takadu to ease his fear and show Takadu how brave he can truly be. The trick at the end is very clever and your little ones will enjoy the creatures that make this story come alive.

Noko and the Night Monster
Really beautiful drawings! I love the camoflaged cats. After thinking about what you've said I've decided that, like most things, it's about balance. Thanks for mentioning me! ( please don't throw the cats in the fire!!!)
Oh, I absolutely looove your first sketch with the bird people! They look ready to go to the carnevale in Venice! :-)
What wonderful eggs!
Feel better
Have you noticed there is a sort of run on birds in blogs lately?
I enjoyed the cone people too
May I put you on my blogroll - then I'll get to look at your site often
Hee hee, I like the cats in disguise! Know what you mean about sketches, too. Mine are like shorthand...the scrawls mean something to me, but are indecipherable to others!
I'm in the halfway house between being an artist with the soul of an illustrator. When I made 'Fine Art' paintings I would make a sketch to just get the feel of a subject, but now I draw for the same reason a guitarist might strum chords. I've gotta loada strumming to do though before I can move from the Fine Art side to the illustrational!
Love your cone people and the fabulous eggs. I am rotten at being ill for the same sort of reason. Much better just to let yourself crash out.
The sketch of the cats pretending to be birds made me laugh. The wheelie people are cute ... I imagine they are on the road to many adventures.
I wish I had eggs like that to eat. The only thing is that I would probably stare at them and never quite eat them.
I hope you are going to expand on the camoflaged cats - they appeal to me in a big way!
No, no, don't burn the cats! They're wonderful. I keep folders of all sorts of bits and scribbles which are at the very least, good for a laugh at some point down the road.
And the idea of the cats disguising themselves as birds is so much fun! (I'll have to check my cats' closets and see what get-ups they have hiding in there...if I discover any bird disguises I'll share.)
Those eggs are lovely.
Ah, the eggs! I'm lucky if I find brown eggs at the local market, much less mellow blue-green ones.
Your cats in disguise remind me a bit of James Christensen's "Six Bird Hunters in Full Camouflage."
I love your sketches! Your style is so comforting to me. Don't know why just yet. Kinda like a soft quilt to wrap up in. Don't know if that makes any sense, but it's meant as a HUGE compliment!

I know what you mean about the scribbled sketches, I enjoy that part of my work the most, coming up with the ideas, probably more than the actual painting of the finished artwork.
I like your cone people.
The eggs look beautiful!
love to you and A.

Wow, what gorgeous eggyweggs.
