Thoroughly loveable and warmly funny, Gough's cautionary tale of a rabbit, a bear, a predatory wolf and competitive snowman building teaches children about friendship, compromise and confronting bad behaviour.
'"It's the end of the world," said a gloomy voice.
Bear looked all around. "No it isn't," said Bear cautiously. "It's a lovely sunny day."'
In this laugh-out-loud funny story, a rabbit and bear discover that things are always better when they're shared with a friend.
Bear wakes up early from hibernation. If she can't sleep, then at least she can make a snowman. Rabbit has never made a snowman, but he definitely wants to make one that's better than Bear's. However, with an avalanche and a hungry wolf heading his way, Rabbit soon realises that it might be nice to have a friend on your side. Especially when it comes to building snowmen.
A tale of friendship, gravity, and just a little bit of poo.
