Meet the classic animal double-act in this hilarious million-selling series. Gorgeously illustrated, 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.

Charlie Byrne's Bookshop
Rabbit's Bad Habits should become an instant modern classic. Stands shoulder to shoulder with Pooh and Toad. Cheeky, delightful and hilarious.
Eoin Colfer
A laugh-out-loud celebration of friendship, forest life...and poo
Metro
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
A healthy dose of quirky humour
Irish Times
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
A great book that will become a classic
London Mums Magazine
Julian Gough's text is quirky and lively with a distinctive style, and Jim Field's illustrations are a joy
Awfully Big Reviews
It's an exhilarating, very quietly educational, and - most of all - riotously funny read.
Waterstones, Leilah Skelton
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
A perfect animal double-act enchants.
