Elephant & Piggie meets Narwhal and Jelly in this hilarious new early-reader graphic novel series about Archie & Reddie, two fox friends who have wild fun! In this fourth book, when Archie is woken by a scary noise in the night, he turns to Reddie to help him get to the bottom of it.

Archie and Reddie are having a sleepover! That means they get to play super fun games all night long and wear their favorite pajamas! And even when a storm knocks out the power, they don’t get scared. Well, maybe a little at first, so it’s a good thing they have their trusty flashlights! But when Archie is woken in the middle of the night by a loud grumble, he’s afraid there might be a monster in the house. Luckily, Reddie is there to remind him of his bravery as the two friends investigate together. Everywhere they look, the noise seems to follow, but they can’t seem to find a monster anywhere. Is it super-sneaky, or could there be something else causing these late-night grumbles?

Praise for the Archie & Reddie series:

“A charming early reader comic series. The digital designs provide a fitting backdrop to the utterly engaging narrative. A notable new addition to any beginning reader collection. Ideal for fans of Mo Willems’s Elephant & Piggie series.” —School Library Journal on I Really Dig Pizza!

“Two friends with enjoyable chemistry populating well-paced panels that propel the physical comedy. Make room for this cute pair on the graphic early reader shelf.” —Kirkus Reviews

“Tightly framed drawings offer plenty of perky graphic pop, and the characters have an eager-eyed expressiveness, snappy dialogue, and bouncy physicality that will pull new readers along.”—Publisher's Weekly

“The foxes’ silly actions and infectious enthusiasm make for a tale that begs to be read and acted out loud.” —School Library Journal on Look What We Can Do!

“Full of humor and charm, this latest addition to the series is a definite purchase for beginning reader collections, especially ones that focus on comic and graphic novel formats.” —School Library Journal on We Will Find Your Hat!
