Gorgeously illustrated and with a classic feel, this is a brilliantly funny story of a rabbit and a bear ... and how to understand the world using science, and your friends. Ideal for readers moving on from picture books.

'A perfect animal double-act.' The Times, Book of the Week

Rabbit loves the sky at night. But what are the stars made of? Where do they go in the daytime? WHY are they?

Bear knows that Castor will be able to answer these big questions with his Far-Looking Machine. But that just makes Rabbit feel tiny in a big world. Maybe his new friends in the Bog of Frogs will be able to see things from a different angle ...

Meet Rabbit and Bear in the classic series that has taken the world by storm: this is a story of friendship, science, and being up to your eyeballs in bog.

'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
