A sweet, playful story of animal friendship that will help young readers overcome their fear of the dark and of the unknown. Warm, vibrant illustrations and a great read-aloud story make this picture book perfect for parents teaching their kids to be brave.

One evening, Barnaby and his two friends are out for a moonlight stroll in the woods where they live. Although it's peaceful at first, they begin to worry: What was that large shadow? Are those dinosaur tracks on the ground? Is it a witch? Or could it just be another friendly animal on a walk?

By confronting their fears and learning to be brave and explore, Barnaby and his friends set a great example for young children who are scared of the dark or whose imaginations run wild. Kids will relate to Barnaby and friends and, through their adventures, learn that they don't have to be afraid of anything!
