About the book
Rabbit and Hedgehog are the best of friends, even though Rabbit is awake all day and Hedgehog is only awake at night.
Rabbit finds himself wishing that Hedgehog could stay up all day, just for once, and his wish did come true! But not exactly how he had expected...
The beautiful story 'Rabbit's Wish' was cleverly written and illustrated to introduce children to animal natures, as well as beautifully depicted a genuine friendship one might have! Through playful and close-to-the-heart conversations, Paul Stewart and Chris Riddell effortlessly portrayed the fun times, the down times, and well as the times that might make one worry within a friendship.
