When a carefree bunny is approached by a voracious bear in the woods, Bunny has just one request: Please Don't Eat Me.

But the bear has a never-ending list of requests, and Bunny realises maybe Bear isn't as hungry as he'd let on... maybe he just wants his new friend's company for a while.

This witty and poignant exploration of predator and prey will have children and parents alike roaring with laughter - and looking for their next meal.
