The shape of this universe.
Rabbit and Bear is Julian Gough and Jim Field's funny, warm early chapter-book franchise about a bossy rabbit, a thoughtful bear and a forest full of animals learning how to live together. The books are short, highly illustrated and very readable aloud, with a lovely mix of toilet humour, seasonal adventure, friendship tension and surprisingly useful emotional wisdom. Rabbit is anxious, controlling and often wrong; Bear is calmer, kinder and more reflective. Together they make a brilliant bridge from picture books into chapter books for children who still need pictures, jokes and warmth on every page.
A funny, warm illustrated chapter-book series about friendship, forest animals, big feelings and a rabbit who is often confidently wrong.
