Description
Fox and Rabbit live quite far away, in a bright little house beyond the mole hills. When they wish each other a good night, the rustling pear tree, the raspberries, and the stars join in. If they can't sleep, they count the good nights (335 in total). Or they try sleeping somewhere else--in the trees or in a tent. Sometimes they swing on the lamp shades.
