When the library lights go out, that means it’s time for three story-hour puppets to begin their adventures! At first only Rabbit and Lion come out to play and explore their library home. But where is their friend Hermit Crab? Where could she be in the library darkness? In this charming story, come along with Rabbit, Lion, and Hermit Crab as they play, draw, and explore their way through the library—and find out what really happens when the library lights go out!
Megan McDonald won the IRA Award for Is This a House for Hermit Crab? Once a librarian herself, she is also the author of the bestselling Judy Moody books. She lives with her husband in California.
