The perfect bedtime story by the author and illustrator of the number one bestselling Hugless Douglas series, David Melling.

The sun was setting on Sleepy Street as Rabbit and the others began to yawn …

Rabbit helps his friends get ready for bed in this adorable bedtime story. But when they hear a strange noise it turns out to be a sad monster. Will they be able to cheer their new friend up before bedtime?

Ideal for encouraging little ones to try something new

A very realistic portrayal of the baking process with a three year old. Hugless Douglas fans will enjoy all the action.
