The Midnight Chew
by Sally Morgan, Karen Blair (illus.)

by Vasilia Nerouppos, Sep 2025

The Midnight Chew is a cheeky and cheerful canine adventure about Skippy Gillespie and Boofa Boy Jones. When Skippy Gillespie creeps out at night for a bite of his favourite bone, Boofa Boy Jones just has to have a bite too, resulting in a midnight chase for two. Through the darkened streets, the two playful dogs bound and bounce, racing across town to see who will end the night feasting on the delectable bone all alone.

The story is filled with energetic language that captures every paw-step and scurry, bringing Boofa and Skippy’s nighttime antics to life. Written by beloved Australian First Nations author Sally Morgan and beautifully illustrated by the talented Karen Blair, this story weaves together humour, warmth and a gentle message about sharing. A heartwarming story full of mischief and charm, The Midnight Chew is a delightful read for young readers and animal lovers alike. For ages 2+.
