Third story about Rabbit and Bear... and tolerance.

I'd say the authors should probably stop trying to force rhyming titles - neither my son nor I could work out what this title meant exactly, it didn't make sense. Fortunately, the story was wonderful.

One regular day in the woods, there is a noise and a flutter and a 'creature' appears... is it an Owl? And is it one of the frightening six... no, seven.... no eight foot tall Owls that Rabbit is afraid of? He works up the other animals into a fear of the unconscious visitor - they need to lock her up and keep themselves safe.

Rabbit's unwarranted fears and inability to admit his own mistakes form the crux of this story, as all readers can see the tiny and very harmless creature is treated unjustly. Will Rabbit be able to see past his paranoia?

The two personalities of Bear and Rabbit again form a winning partnership, one calm and reasoned, the other rude and spontaneous. I loved the little Owl, once she awakens, a little lesson in the habits of the species is forthcoming.

A great teaching point for readers. And a 100-page read that my 7-year-old managed over 5 nights, the vocabulary isn't too challenging and we both adored the detailed and vivid illustrations and scenes.

We'd love more in the series of this 'salt and pepper' pair. One for ages 5 and above.

Thank you to the publisher and @NetGalley for allowing me to read this hilarious book! I absolutely love the characters. I love the analogy of the cave and humans and how we are all different on the inside and that it is ok. I cannot wait to read the next book in the series!

My son and I love these books. They're hilarious, with lots of burping, farting, and poop.

Не го разбирам това с “акото”.... ако го нямаше историята щеше да е разкош...
