Gorgeously illustrated and with a classic feel, this is a brilliantly funny story of a rabbit and a bear … and how friends can manage in a not-quite-perfect world. Ideal for readers moving on from picture books.

‘A perfect animal double-act.’ The Times, Book of the Week Rabbit is fed up. Spring has come, but it’s not as perfect as he thought it would be. Bear thinks that if they work hard, they can make it better.

But Rabbit has a Plan. He sets off across the lake in search of a perfect world. Crossing the water together, Rabbit and Bear learn many things, and discover that their perfect world may be closer at hand than Rabbit had thought.

A story of hope, friendship, and an entire island made of bird droppings.
