What is The fox in the dark about?

When Rabbit hears a rat-a-tat-tat at the door, he worries that the fox in the dark has come to get him. Soon, Duck, Mouse and Lamb are squeezed inside Rabbit’s house too, all trembling at the thought of meeting the frightening fox. But as the knocking continues, the animals begin to wonder whether the fox is truly as scary as they imagine. A playful bedtime tale about friendship, fear and discovering that things are not always what they seem.
