　　小兔不想上床睡覺，他想到一個好方法，只要把夜晚放進餅乾盒，那他就可以整晚不用睡了！可是夜晚卻試著跟兔子解釋為什麼夜晚不可或缺，想想看，那些夜行動物該怎麼辦呢？而且如果不睡覺，要怎麼迎接隔天早上的好吃早餐？不管怎麼說，夜晚最棒的部分還是睡前故事了！當兔子終於被說服，把夜晚從餅乾盒裡放出來，沒想到……

        If bedtime is a battle, then this hilarious, inventive picture book from international bestseller, Nicola O'Byrne, is exactly what you need.

        Rabbit has had a very good idea. He does NOT want to go to bed and so he puts The Dark in the biscuit tin so that he won't have to. Now he can stay up all night long! But The Dark gently reminds Rabbit of all the reasons why the dark and night are needed. What about all the nocturnal animals? And surely you can't have a yummy breakfast of toast and honey and fresh orange juice unless you've been to bed? But the very BEST thing about nighttime has to be a bedtime story, doesn't it? Rabbit is finally persuaded and lets The Dark out of the biscuit tin . . . the moment the story starts, Rabbit falls fast asleep. Goodnight, Rabbit!

        A funny and original bedtime story with fabulous surprise fold-out pages!

        From the bestselling author of Open Very Carefully, winner of the Waterstone's Children's Book Prize 2014.
