Buttermilk (Electronic book text)

The Island of Serendipity is a land filled with magical delights, but sometimes when sunlight dims and surrenders to the night, things take on a mystery that is hard to explain. Shadows grumble and growl and where once there was nothing suddenly a fearsome dragon or other monster appears. No less imaginative and no less afraid was a little bunny called Buttermilk. She had played and played with her friends in a far away meadow only to discover that the sun was setting low. Worse than worse, the shadows were getting longer and longer, darkened places where scary things were surely hiding. Buttermilk hurriedly hopped for home and all would have been good and great save for a bear that suddenly appeared just off the path. Scared nearly out of her wits she raced quickly up the path. If the bear was bad the dragon was worse and the witch was even scarier. What had been such a pretty path in the noonday sun was now a nightmare of monstrous proportions. Finally, her fears trailing behind, Buttermilk dashed down the hallway and leaped into bed pulling the covers over her head. She would have been hiding there to this very day if had not her father shown her fears in the bright light of day when shadows are asleep. Ages 5-9
