In this idyllic world, Fox and Rabbit live in perfect harmony. Their only troubles are finding more creative ways to say good night, and getting to sleep!

Each of the short, eleven-and-a-half stories – and some are only a page long – explore Fox and Rabbit’s exploits, with guest appearances by their friends Kangaroo and Elephant, sheepdog Lottie and the inept Granny Wolf; delectably quirky shenanigans which are truly hilarious! This beautifully illustrated book is a joy to behold and share. Look out for the added layer of playfulness in the charming pictures. And when you’ve finished reading the stories, remove the book’s dust jacket – you’re in for a surprise!

This gorgeous, quirky little gem is a must-have for any home library. A wonderful family read-aloud and a delight for junior independent readers and their classrooms. Highly recommended for ages 4+.
