As autumn draws in, two very different friends read a slightly spooky story together (that Mole keeps interrupting) about a racoon who transforms into a scuffling monster (eeek!) and Mole eats Fox's cookies (all of them).

Fox's anger with Mole's lack of consideration builds, and when Mole forgets Fox's birthday, Fox too begins to transform...

This wry, gothic-inspired tale will thrill older picture-book readers and encourage them to explore the need for give and take, appreciation and honesty in friendships.
