Series: Rabbit and Bear
Gorgeously illustrated and with a classic feel, this is a brilliantly funny story of a rabbit and a bear who discover that things are always better when they're shared with a friend. Ideal for readers moving on from picture books.

'A perfect animal double-act.' (The Times, Book of the Week)

Bear

wakes up early from hibernation. If she can't sleep, then at least she

can make a snowman. Rabbit has never made a snowman, but he definitely

wants to make one that's better than Bear's.

But with an

avalanche and a hungry wolf heading his way, Rabbit soon realises that

it might be nice to have a friend on his side.

From novelist and

playwright Julian Gough, and the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize,

Jim Field, this is a tale of friendship, gravity, and just a little bit

of poo.

'RABBIT'S BAD HABITS is a breath of fresh air

in children's fiction, a laugh-out-loud story of rabbit and wolf and bear, of avalanches and snowmen. The sort of story that makes you

want to send your children to bed early, so you can read it to them.'

Neil Gaiman

Reviews for Rabbit and Bear: Rabbit's Bad Habits: Book 1

These 100-page, fully illustrated stories will be as popular with bedtime-story-reading grown-ups as they are with newly confident readers. We love the funny illustrations, the cheeky humour and the underlying messages about friendship and life. * The School Run * Julian Gough's text is quirky and lively with a distinctive style, and Jim Field's illustrations are a joy * Awfully Big Reviews * A healthy dose of quirky humour * Irish Times * With wonderful landscapes and characterisation by Jim Field, this book is highly recommended and will still delight after many readings * Inis * A delight, with super illustrations and a lovely story about friendship * Independent on Sunday * Has a cheeky charm that will thrill younger readers * The Guardian * A laugh-out-loud celebration of friendship, forest life...and poo * Metro * What a treat this little book is! Not only does it have a funny and warm story that is full of heart, it is also gorgeously presented with spot-colour illustrations by Jim Field...Lots of fun, highly recommended. -- Anna Flinn * Reading Zone * A great book that will become a classic * London Mums Magazine * It's beautifully illustrated and is a super story, with cheeky one-liners, that is ideal to share on cold winter evenings * Manchester Evening News * This is a superb book and the real joy to me is in the conversations (sometimes quite philosophical) between Rabbit and Bear. * Parents In Touch * It's an exhilarating, very quietly educational, and - most of all - riotously funny read. * Waterstones, Leilah Skelton * A charming, wonderful and eccentric story * Sschambe Blog * A laugh out loud story with just a hint of poo. * Charlie Byrne's Bookshop * Sure to become a firm favourite * The Bookbag * A perfect animal double-act enchants. -- Alex O'Connell * The Times * Rabbit's Bad Habits should become an instant modern classic. Stands shoulder to shoulder with Pooh and Toad. Cheeky, delightful and hilarious. * Eoin Colfer *
