This book is available separately or as part of the Little Library Reading Kit. The colourfully illustrated, indigenous story teaches literacy to children aged 5 to 9. As one of the ten award-winning South African stories in the Little Library Reading Kit, One Dark Dark Night explores the relationship between sight and sound through the medium of the story. The full-colour illustrations and exciting, original narrative make each reading entertaining as well as educational.

This title forms part of the Little Library programme, which consists of a Literacy Kit, Numeracy Kit and Life Skills Kit. These were developed to respond to a need for high-quality, indigenous books for the younger members of our communities. The kits have been revised to meet the changing needs of learners, schools and new education policies. Many of the well-loved stories, posters and activities have been kept and exciting new stories have been added. The posters, activities and the Teacher's Guide have all been revised to provide fresh, new ideas to try out in the classroom. One dark, dark night is a title in the Little Library Literacy Kit. Summary: The main concepts taught include domestic or farm animals, animal sounds, opposites and sequencing. Additional concepts include fears, dangers and families.
