MEDIA REVIEWS
I like Rabbit & Bear - which could appeal to both boys and girls - because they are sweet,funny and beautifully illustrated books with around 100 pages. Clever and charming books for young readers!When readers aged 8-10 stop giggling at the bird burps,musical farts and amazing uses for blueberry poo (eeuw!) they might also ponder the dangers of prejudice and benefits of acceptance that this witty little illuminates.The latest in a series of neat little chapter books with funny pictures,poo jokes,a bear,a bigoted rabbit and life lessons. This one is a bout a tiny owl blown in from elsewhere,and how prejudice works.The Rabbit & Bear books are funny and sweet...beautifully-illustrated with around 100 pages each,the language is straightforward,and readers may even pick up some facts about wildlife.These joyous stories of a very special friendship are perfect to enthuse newly confident readers to enjoy books on their own....Jim Field's wonderfully expressive illustrations are key to the success of the book....There's plenty of gentle humour to enjoy (including an unusual way to decorate the walls!) and the wonderful relationship between Rabbit and Bear goes from strength to strengthWhen a lost baby owl fetches up in their forest,grouchy Rabbit,judicious Bear and their friends face a dilemma: lock up the newcomer or welcome his arrival Beneath the bantering,the slapstick gags and the scatological humour there's a timely message about immigration and nationalism
