Illustrated by
Eve Tharlet.
When their parents go out one night, rabbit Davy and his siblings are excited to be home alone--that is, until Daisy sees a ghost at the window. The siblings are self-sufficient (Davy suggests they scare the ghost away) and the suspense strong. Tharlet's rabbits sport especially espressive faces, and red-caped Davy, clearly the hero of the family, stands out in the otherwise muted illustrations.
