Eleven and half good night stories with Fox and Rabbit
Fox and rabbit lived far away, behind the mole hills, in a small yel-low house. If they can’t sleep, they count the good nights (335 in total). If they wish each other a good night, the rustling pear tree, the raspberries and the stars join in. If rabbit is ill and in his fever-ish delirium believes that it snows, then fox pushes him on his sledge through the cherry blossom ‘snow’ in the middle of Spring. They experience adventurous nights in a tent, transport fish in the kangaroo’s pouch and practice how to sleep like bats.

“This is a delightful collection of short stories to be read aloud all in one glorious bedtime gulp or rationed to last a week.” – School Library Journal
“… a delightful, delicately illustrated series of eleven and a half bedtime stories of Fox and Rabbit. These funny tales are filled with little surprises and amusing misinterpretations that children will love.” – Midwest Book Review
“But oh so beautifully imagined and written! The illustrations are intriguing and offer interesting perspectives… I would recommend Good Night, Sleep Tight to libraries, and to families looking for something different in the way of bedtime reading.”- The Book Chook
