Which point of view does the narrator use in the passage?
Hazel realized that until they were rested they would all be safer where they were than stumbling along in the open. . . . He had an idea.
"Yes, all right, we'll rest here," he said. "Let's go in among this fern. Come on, Dandelion, tell us a story. I know you're handy that way. Pipkin here can't wait to hear it."
Dandelion looked at Pipkin and realized what it was that Hazel was asking him to do.

The passage uses third person point of view. The narrator refers to the characters by name (Hazel, Dandelion, Pipkin) and uses third-person pronouns (he, they) to describe their actions and thoughts, rather than using "I" (first person) or "you" (second person).
