Books Included in This Collection:
Rabbit's Bad Habits
In Rabbit's Bad Habits, Bear wakes up early from hibernation. If she can't sleep, then at least she can make a snowman. Rabbit has never made a snowman, but he definitely wants to make one that's better than Bear's. The playful rivalry quickly shifts toward teamwork as ideas collide and laughter fills the valley, teaching young readers about cooperation, friendship, and turning competition into collaboration. This opening tale sets the warm, cheeky tone that defines the entire set, inviting children to cheer for Rabbit’s ingenuity and Bear’s big heart.

The Pest in the Nest
Owch. He's hurt his own ears again. What with Bear's snoring, and a BANG!BANG!BANG! noise from up in the tree, Rabbit knows that Something Simply Has To Be Done. The Pest in the Nest follows Rabbit's careful problem-solving and Bear's endearing flaws as the duo navigates a noisy, sleepless world. Gentle suspense gives way to a clever, friendship-first solution, reinforcing resilience and teamwork in a way that feels cozy, humorous, and reassuring for young readers.

Attack of the Snack
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? This tale balances curiosity with courage, inviting children to weigh fear against friendship and to discover that leaning on a friend makes the strange feel friendlier. A brisk, buoyant adventure that keeps readers turning the pages with a smile.

A Bite in the Night
Rabbit is surprised: some of the trees in the valley seem to be flying south for the winter. His friend Bear is sure that trees can't fly. Then there's a loud CRUNCH! from Very Near By. It sounds like the world's largest rabbit, eating the world's largest carrot. This story blends whimsy with wonder, inviting readers to follow Rabbit’s spark of curiosity as Bear grounds the big moment in warmth and humor, ending with a gentle reminder of companionship in the face of the unknown.

A Bad King is a Sad Thing
Icebear has arrived in Rabbit and Bear's valley, and he wants to be king. He's big and scary, and the more kind and understanding the animals are, the meaner he becomes. Through clever dialogue and steadfast friendship, Rabbit and Bear model empathy, courage, and fairness, showing that true leadership comes from kindness. This closing tale reinforces the collection’s core message: strong communities are built on trust, cooperation, and heart.
