Illustrated by
Barbara Firth.
One evening, Sammy leaves Tom Rabbit, his stuffed animal, on the wall by the back field. Tom Rabbit waits gamely, but as night falls, he becomes anxious and feels "all alone." Finally, at bedtime, an apologetic Sammy comes to fetch him. A few of the pastel-colored pencil and watercolor illustrations border on the sentimental, but they do depict the rural setting and the anxiety and comfort of being lost then found.
