5.0
Fourth in the series about friendship and forest life.
Rabbit awakens one morning to find trees from the forest disappearing - are they flying south for the winter? Bear is sceptical, though they go to investigate.
Some good life advice comes at this point:
"'WHY AREN'T YOU WORRYING?' shouted Rabbit. 'Because worrying doesn't fix things,' said Bear. 'But breakfast does.'"
Very sensible, Bear.
The pair meet other creatures and hear what could be a monster crunching in the forest... just what could it be, and what is it doing with their trees?
When they finally do see the truth of the mystery and find out what's happening, it will take some persuasion to help the mystery creature find a better path to happiness and 'progress'.
Fantastic illustrations throughout, in black/white/orange, the story is actually very short and accessible to newly emergent readers, or will take a parent just a handful of bedtimes to get through.
Enjoyable story that touches on environmental issues and how the natural world fits together, and the importance of friendship.
For ages 5-10.
