“A breath of fresh air in children’s fiction, a laugh-out-loud story of rabbit and wolf and bear, of avalanches and snowmen.” —Neil Gaiman, #1 New York Times–bestselling author Named to Kirkus Reviews’ Best Middle-Grade Books of 2019 When Bear wakes up early from her hibernation, she decides to build a snowman.

With illustrations throughout, this book is perfect for middle grade readers and is sure to become a fun favorite on any kid’s bookshelf. “Rabbit’s Bad Habits should become an instant modern classic. Stands shoulder to shoulder with Pooh and Toad. Cheeky, delightful and hilarious.” —Eoin Colfer, #1 New York Times–bestselling author “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 bear’s kindness and generosity sweeten a grumpy rabbit’s sour outlook in this wintry woodland encounter . . . Young readers will come away with fresh insights into both poo and peacemaking.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “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
