You might think that the library would be a quiet place when the lights go out, but that’s when the storytime puppets, rabbit, lion and hermit crab, come out and have all sorts of fabulous adventures. On this particular night the crab had hidden from “her” when she closed the place up. Lion and rabbit are worried, so they search all through the library until they find their friend, and when they hear what adventures he wants to have, they decide to join him.

This is lots of fun; both well written and illustrated. Librarians everywhere should worry that their stuffies might get ideas if this is left lying around.
