A spectacular, surreal and cinematic wordless picture book about the secret life of animals.Far from the city, but not quite in the countryside, lies a fairground. When night falls, and the fair is empty, something unexpected happens. Wild animals emerge from the trees, a brave raccoon pulls a lever, and the rollercoasters and rides explode back into bright, neon life. Now its time for the woodland creatures to have some fun
