Synopsis

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)

SPLASH! A Mysterious Thing lands in Rabbit and Bear's peaceful summer lake.

Is it exciting, or terrifying? Is it a tiny fluffy owl, or a huge hungry monster? And has Rabbit finally met a creature with worse habits than himself?

Rabbit's SURE he can solve this mystery. But when he accidentally turns the Best Day Ever into the Worst Day Ever, he needs Bear's help ...

From novelist and playwright Julian Gough, and the winner of the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, Jim Field, this is a tale of friendship, acceptance, and what you can do with blueberry 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

I loved this book! Sadly I've never read any of the other Rabbit and Bear stories but I certainly will now. This beautifully illustrated book tells a very funny story of the unlikely friendship between a rabbit and a bear. It's an ideal choice for early readers ready for a 'step-up' from picture books. One summer's day, Rabbit and Bear are enjoying a cool dip in the lake when suddenly something whizzes through the air and lands with a splash in the middle of the lake. What could it be? This hideous creature, is it a Trumpwig? A Taxbill? A Wetfart?& The story follows the two friends as they work together to try to find out what the 'thing' is that has spoilt their day. Is it a tiny fluffy owl, or a huge hungry monster? This is a tale of friendship, acceptance, and finding out just what you can do with blueberry poo! Now as someone who usually detests the use of 'toilet humour' as a way to get children reading, this laugh-out-loud story is a real winner for me! I couldn't wait to get it into school and share it with my current Year 3 children. 112 pages / Ages 7+ / Reviewed by Sam Phillips, teacher.
