This is the simple story of how four toys go into the garden one moonlit summer night and enjoy a taste of freedom. They show great spirit and bravery as they climb up the slide, encouraged on by Rabbit who promises that soon they will be on top of the world. After enjoying the view for a moment they get ready for the best bit - the slide back down. And, just like little ones, they can't wait to try again. A magical story beautifully illustrated - the delight on each toy's face is a pure joy that young children will understand.
