Big Eyes, Scary Voice by Edel Wignell
Tania and Josh hear a scary voice calling in the park at sunset. They look and they listen and have an amazing twilight adventure. The park is full of strange shadows and things that look like eyes. The children, followed closely by Mum, wander through the falling light looking for the source of the scary voice. There are all sorts of things that lead them astray but in the end they find it...It's a mother owl with her babies sitting high up in a tree.

This really feels like the children's perspective: their words and their awe Letterbox Library This is a scary, yet safe, exploration of noises in the shadows and approaching darkness. Great for cuddling up and sharing -- Carolyn Boyd School Libraries Association Breath-taking ... The illustrations are sumptuous Buzz Words Big Eyes, Scary Voice introduces its reader to a mystery story that will awaken the curious and thrill the brave Pass It On
