Gorgeously illustrated and with a classic feel, this is a
brilliantly funny story of a rabbit and a bear whose friendship is
tested by a very noisy woodpecker ... Ideal for readers moving on
from picture books. 'A perfect animal double-act.' (The Times, Book
of the Week) 'PEACE AND QUIET,' shouts Rabbit. 'THAT'S ALL I WANT.'
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. But high in the branches, perhaps
Bear can show Rabbit how to see the world from a different place
... From novelist and playwright Julian Gough, and the winner of
the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, Jim Field, this is a tale of
friendship, wisdom, and how to be REALLY NOISY. 'Rabbit's Bad
Habits is a breath of fresh air in children's fiction, a
laugh-out-loud story of rabbit and wolf and bear, of avalanches and
snowmen. The sort of story that makes you want to send your
children to bed early, so you can read it to them.' Neil Gaiman

Children's Book of the Year in the Irish Book Awards* Read all the

Go on an adventure with Katherine Rundell ... From the winner of
the Costa Children's Book Prize 'A writer with an utterly
distinctive voice and a wild imagination' - Philip Pullman Feodora
and her mother live in the snowbound woods of Russia, in a house
full of food and fireplaces. Ten minutes away, in a ruined chapel,
lives a pack of wolves. Feodora's mother is a wolf wilder, and Feo
is a wolf wilder in training. A wolf wilder is the opposite of an
animal tamer: it is a person who teaches tamed animals to fend for
themselves, and to fight and to run, and to be wary of humans. When
the murderous hostility of the Russian Army threatens her very
existence, Feo is left with no option but to go on the run. What
follows is a story of revolution and adventure, about standing up
for the things you love and fighting back. And, of course, wolves.
