Chris Riddell.
In this third Rabbit and Hedgehog story, Rabbit wishes his nocturnal friend Hedgehog could stay awake all day to play with him, and when a rainstorm floods out both their houses, he gets his wish. Although the story wanders a bit and the conclusion one might draw from it is muddled, the finely drawn illustrations of caricatured animals have humorous touches and the portrayal of friendship is engaging.
