What to expect
'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
*Shortlisted for the Children's Book of the Year in the Irish Book Awards*

Critics Review
Rabbit’s Bad Habits should become an instant modern classic. Stands shoulder to shoulder with Pooh and Toad. Cheeky, delightful and hilarious.
A perfect animal double-act enchants.
Sure to become a firm favourite
A laugh out loud story with just a hint of poo.
A charming, wonderful and eccentric story
It’s an exhilarating, very quietly educational, and – most of all – riotously funny read.
This is a superb book and the real joy to me is in the conversations (sometimes quite philosophical) between Rabbit and Bear.
It’s beautifully illustrated and is a super story, with cheeky one-liners, that is ideal to share on cold winter evenings
A great book that will become a classic
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.
A laugh-out-loud celebration of friendship, forest life…and poo
Has a cheeky charm that will thrill younger readers
A delight, with super illustrations and a lovely story about friendship
With wonderful landscapes and characterisation by Jim Field, this book is highly recommended and will still delight after many readings
A healthy dose of quirky humour
Julian Gough’s text is quirky and lively with a distinctive style, and Jim Field’s illustrations are a joy
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.
