Books for Topics

When night falls and the shadows get longer and darker, Mouse is scared. How will he find his way home? Luckily he meets a firefly who reassures him, 'I'm Ray and I'll light your way.' On their starlit walk, however, it can seem that every shadow is lurking danger. And the meerkat, chickens, frogs and squirrels who join them agree-until Ray flies close with his light and shows what the shadows really are. But sometimes, just sometimes, the shadows might be just what they look like . . .
