Poinsettia can't believe her ears -- she's finally getting a room of her own! Yet once night falls, and her new room is dark, Poinsettia is lonely and scared. Radiators clank, stairs creak, branches scratch, and something thumps. She can't wait for morning to arrive. But when she sees a bright light shining outside her window in the middle of the night, Poinsettia's quick thinking saves her neighborhood, and, with the help of the firefighters, she realizes that the night isn't so scary after all.

Solomon the Rusty Nail by William Steig, ISBN 0374469032
Here, in the great tradition of Sylvester and the Magic Pebble and Caleb and Kate, is another
tale of magical transformation from William Steig. Its hero, young Solomon, is an ordinary
rabbit--well, ordinary in every respect but one. Whenever he scratches his nose and wiggles
his toes at exactly the same time, he turns into a rusty nail. To turn back into a rabbit, all he has
to do is thing: "I'm no nail, I'm a rabbit!"
This unusual talent enables Solomon to play some gratifying practical jokes, but it also leads to serious trouble when he's waylaid by a one-eyed cat who plans to turn him into Hasenpfeffer. Solomon promptly becomes a rusty nail and steadfastly refuses to change back, even after Ambrose, the cat, and his wife, Clorinda, lock him up in a cage in their guest room. Sooner or later, they figure, they'll be dining no bunny stew.
