Bold yet gentle illustrations fill every spread in this reassuring story. The palette is warm throughout, with bold, black outlines. Flop-Ear excitedly prepares to sleep by himself, outdoors in a tent, whilst the parent bunnies anxiously hover and watch. Night falls. Flop-Ear is alone, and what fun he has until his torch battery fails. Sounds now become so scary that he stuffs a carrot into each ear. That is better! He can still see however, and an approaching shadow, becoming bigger and bigger, makes his heart beat wildly, and he does NOT feel brave. The comforting ending will dispel many a night-time fear, and will provide lots to talk about.
