Rabbit runs home, frightened that there is a fox chasing him in the dark. He makes it home safely, but then he hears a Rat-a-tat-tat! at the door. Who could it be? It’s a duck who is also being chased by the fox and needs a safe place to be. Rabbit lets Duck in, sharing his burrow, blanket and bed. But just then another knock comes at the door. This time it is Mouse. Another knock and it’s Lamb. All of them scared of the fox in the dark. And then another knock comes at the door. This time it’s the fox in the dark!
A combination of dynamic writing and energetic illustrations makes for a stirring read that will have children guessing the entire way through. Green offers young listeners plenty of rhythm and rhyme that is rambunctious. It also builds up the drama and tension. The book reads aloud very well and is sure to have preschool audiences in rapt attention. Allwright’s illustrations play a lot with light and dark, offering deep underground shots of the burrow that is filled with pools of yellow lamplight. The moods set by this use of dark and light really add even further to the dynamic nature of the story.
Recommended for preschool story times, this book would also make a great Halloween read due to the tension built up. It would make a great breather from witches and ghosts that time of year. But don’t wait until then to share it with children! Fit it into any story time featuring rabbits or foxes. Appropriate for ages 3-5.

I read this with my little brother and he adored it. He wouldn't stop talking about the lamb and how cute it was!
