Illustrated by
Valeri Gorbachev.
Little Bunny, an only child, is lonely in the night, so he visits his friends, but is bothered by Squirrel's crunching, Skunk's smell, Porcupine's loose quills, Bear's snoring, and Owl's night-owl hours. Predictably, he ends up at home. The pen-and-ink illustrations, which use sketchy texture lines and are filled in with watercolor washes, add a touch of humor to this appealing, if slight, bedtime story.
