Once upon a scary
night,
three friends set out
on a journey.
Hare with a hat, Cat
with a cake, Pig with a parcel.
But where were they
going in the dead of the night,
tip-toe creeping in
the pale moonlight?
It was a mystery!
This cute story tells the tale of three friends, Hare, Cat
and Pig journeying out one scary night. They encounter snapping crocodiles and
roaring grizzly bears on their way.
Were they scared?
Did they shake?
Did they hide? You bet they did.
Did they give up?
Of course they didn’t!
This book not only has charming rhyme and repetition, it
gently tells children that it is okay at times to be scared. To shake and even
scream (love the double page spread when all three ‘let it rip’). As long as you don’t give up.
