Illustrated by
Deborah Allwright.
Running from a "fox in the dark," Rabbit sprints home and slams the door. Suddenly, there's a knock. One by one, other animals afraid of the fox seek shelter with Rabbit. Finally, "rat-a-tat-tat"; a fox cub is outside, crying for Mom...who shows up looking for her baby. Soft, appropriately dark illustrations give life to the animals in this rhyming tale.
