May we sleep here tonight? Book

Three little gophers, out on a hike, have lost their way. They find a house in the woods, but no one is home. Timidly, they open the door and go inside, where it is warm and cozy. The gophers can't resist climbing into the bed to rest. Before too long, they are joined by two bunny rabbits and three raccoons who have also lost their way. Just as they are all settled down for the night in the nice, big bed, the door opens once more -- and "this" time it's the owner of the house! Who the real owner is and how he treats his unexpected visitors makes a happy and reassuring ending to this delightful story. The illustrations are filled with enchanting details and subtle surprises that will make small children and grownups laugh together and go right back to the beginning to look at each picture again.
