Moonlight Lily

Lily is a charming character! She is a lop-eared white rabbit, the pet of two children who live on a farm. We are introduced to her as night falls, the farmer is a-bed, Lily asleep in her hutch, and all the other animals tucked up. Onto the scene steals a fox, creeping past the henhouse and making straight for Lily. The illustrations build up the tension as we study each spread, fearing what might happen on the following page. As we turn over, ‘BOO!’ says the fox, and Lily wakes up and greets him with joy! Here begins an amazing moonlight dance, Lily and the fox pirouetting whilst the other animals provide the music. No-one wants the moonlight party to end. This tale is beautifully crafted, with pictures and text marrying just perfectly.
