Synopsis
Rabbit and Mole are best friends and roommates. They have a great friendship, but sometimes it gets a little strained. In this charming story, Rabbit is desperately trying to get to sleep, but the noise of the clock ticking and the faucet dripping and the cat purring are driving him mad! Mole is kind enough to quiet the noises so they can both get to sleep, but soon it is Rabbit keeping Mole awake with his snoring. At last, Mole finds some peace downstairs in an overstuffed chair by a roaring fire, where he finally falls fast asleep. A perfect bedtime story for all ages.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K–Mole and Rabbit are settling in for a good night's sleep when Rabbit declares that he is being disturbed by the tick-tock he hears. Mole gets out of bed and stops the clock, and the two animals plump their pillows and try to get comfy once again. But now the faucet is going "drip-drop, drip-drop." Again Mole patiently leaves his warm bed and turns off the tap. One by one, noises are eliminated as Mole removes the purring cat and tries to fasten the banging garden gate. Finally, all is quiet and the two try to fall asleep again. Rabbit has no trouble drifting off, but his loud snores keep his friend awake. Mole then takes his blanket and pillow and heads down the stairs where he snuggles into an armchair with the softly purring cat, in front of a warm fireplace. Taylor's charming watercolors have a cozy and homey feel. The animals' underground burrow is spacious, light, and full of creature comforts such as fuzzy slippers and soft area rugs. The rhythmic language, repetition of phrases, and cumulative sound effects all add up to one very satisfying bedtime story.–Wendy Woodfill, Hennepin County Library, Minnetonka, MN
