A gentle, dreamlike tale about heading home in the night. A mother rabbit carries her young bunny home through the dark, quiet streets. The lights are on in many of the animal neighbors’ windows, so the bunny can see, hear and smell what’s happening inside: a pie being pulled out of the oven, a party, a goodbye hug. When they reach home, the father rabbit tucks the bunny into bed. But the bunny continues to wonder about the neighbors’ activities. “Are the party guests saying goodnight?” Will the one saying goodbye “take the last train home?” Until finally, the tired bunny falls asleep. The perfect story for the end of the day.
