Description
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...
Rabbit and Bear lead readers on a fantastic adventure in this tale of friendship, acceptance, and what you can do with blueberry poop.
Advance Praise
"The narrative, laid out in short, well-leaded lines, likewise snuggles on every page with Field’s duotone cartoon scenes of the two furry figures meeting, parting, starting separate snowmen but ultimately coming together to finish one, and finally sharing a honeycomb and other goodies before bedding down in the warm den." – Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
"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
"Rabbit's Bad Habits should become an instant modern classic. Stands shoulder to shoulder with Pooh and Toad. Cheeky, delightful and hilarious." – Eoin Colfer
"Whether it’s the grisly truth about leporidae eating their poo, the hilarious, touching dynamic between big, gentle Bear and cantankerous, selfish—but not irredeemable—Rabbit, or Jim Field’s blue-white, deft and atmospheric images, there’s much to love in this splendid little book." – The Guardian
"A delight, with super illustrations and a lovely story about friendship." – Independent on Sunday "A laugh-out-loud celebration of friendship, forest life...and poo." – Metro
"This beginning chapter book is delightfully weird, hilarious, and tender-hearted!" – Imagination Soup

What a wonderful first introduction to Rabbit & Bear! They're best friends who are having the best day ever which turns into the worst day ever when something small flies overhead and smacks into a tree. Afterwards Rabbit learns a valuable lesson about jumping to conclusions and making assumptions about others just off of what he's heard and Bear learned a lesson about eating too many blueberries with mint. All of the forest creatures eventually make a new friend, embrace their own and others' "weirdness", and really do have the best day ever.
I found myself reading parts aloud to my coworkers so we could both laugh. I also cannot wait to share this book with our library patrons and my own children because it'll be a hoot!
What a fun read this was! Children will love the story line and humor included in it. The lesson is a good one...give new friends a chance upon first meeting them. They may seem a bit strange at first but we all are. Love the illustrations.
Thank you to the publisher and @NetGalley for allowing me to read this hilarious book! I absolutely love the characters. I love the analogy of the cave and humans and how we are all different on the inside and that it is ok. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!
