While you were sleeping one deep, dark night...one tiger went hunting in the jungle, two mice made a warm, cosy nest in the hay, three bears played chase in the snow . . .

In this stunningly illustrated book with its lyrical text, you are taken gently through the night to see and count all kinds of animals in their natural environments.
