Synopsis

A Long Way from Home At bedtime in the burrow Moz is squished and squashed by sleepy rabbits. Crumpled and cross, he asks to go with his friend Albatross to the icy lands of the North Star. So off they fly, but when Moz gets lost he finds himself cold and lonely, and a long way from home. Full description

About this title

Review:

Noah the bunny feels "squished and squashed by the sleepy rabbits" in his burrow, so into the night he goes. An albatross takes him to the frozen North where he plays in the snow and then sleeps, splendidly alone, in an ice cave. But when he wakes up cold, all he wants is to be back in his burrow - will he be able to get home? Is there really any doubt? Chapman delivers one of her trademark adorable little animals endowed with a Disney-esque range of expressions. The icy-blue palette of the North stands in sharp and effective contrast to the cozy browns of the burrow in this mild flight of fancy. (Picture book. 3-6) (Kirkus Reviews)
