The Fox in the Dark

by

Alison Green

Illustrated by Deborah Allwright

Rabbit is petrified as he scampers home through the dark wood; he suspects that he is being trailed by a scary fox in the dark!

Rabbit is relieved when he reaches his burrow safe and sound but a rat-a-tat-tat at the door leaves his knees knocking with terror. Could it be the scary fox coming to get him?

But it’s only Mouse, Duck and Lamb who are also afraid of the fox. When a tearful baby fox can’t find his mum in the dark, the animals soon realise that they will have to put their own fears to bed.

With its soothing rhymes and beautiful illustrations, this lovely book will calm the worst bedtime fretfulness.
