I thought this was fun enough, if a little unevenly written. The pictures are solid.

My kid on the other hand was RIVETED with every page, hanging on every word and slight reveal about whatever might be chopping down the trees. So the book is doing something right!

I have to find the first book in the series now.

Ето, че дойде ред и на есенното приключение на Заека и Мечката. Дърветата изчезват безследно, гората е под заплаха, наоколо се навърта невиждан звяр с огромни зъби... Заекът отново е в пълна паника, а Мечката е влудяващо спокойна. „Хапещ нападател или нов приятел” (изд. „Timelines”) е завършека на любимата поредица на Джулиан Гоф и Джим Фийлд, и можете да се обзаложите, че едни от най-остроумните диалози и най-изразителни илюстрации до сега са запазени за десерт!

С настъпването на есента дърветата започват да отлитат на юг... ДЪРВЕТАТА ЛИ? Нещо става тук и на плещите на Заека и Мечката пада отговорността да открият какво... И ако срещнете Castor canadensis, ВНИМАВАЙТЕ!!! Той има нужда от обич и приятелска ръка... и напомняне, че не е нужно прогресът да смачква всичко по пътя си.

Kanin & Bjørn er simpelthen altid så fantastiske. Jeg elsker budskaberne i bøgerne, og denne er bestemt ingen undtagelse. Den er virkelig fin.

Заек и мечка е уникална поредица. Забавна е и за малките и за големите. Страхотна комбинация от история, картинки и хумор.
"-Къде е любимото ми дърво за чесане?
- Лети на юг за зимата - предположи Заекът.
За всеки случай Мечката погледна нагоре към небето.
- Не..."

"- Ка... ка... какво свирепо чудовище е ИЗЯЛО ДЪРВО?
- Не знам - отвърна Мечката - Гладно?"

"- ЗАЩО НЕ СЕ ПРИТЕСНЯВАШ? - извика Заекът.
- Защото безпокойствието няма да оправи нещата - отговор Мечката - Виж, закуската би могла."

В този дух е цялата книжка. И един бобър и неговият прогрес обръщат света на животните в гората, но въпреки това те не забравят добрите обноски и не го оставят сам.

It was really funny😅😸

Really cute and silly story about the importance of friend, community and happiness💜 And that life isn't only about work, work, work!

[Katy Kelly · Rating 5 out of 5]

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.

Trees are disappearing from the Rabbit and Bear's home in the woods. Do trees go south for winter, or is something else at work in the woods?

I really like the approach that Bear takes with the pesky beaver wreaking havoc in their woods. First she seeks to understand, she finds the root issue, and then they all work out a solution so that animals can keep their homes and the beaver can fulfill its purpose. There's a little message in here about valuing relationships over a career or work that is important for kids and the adults reading with them. Prioritizing is important. A great model for peaceful reconciliation and fun story.

I really enjoy the Rabbit and Bear books. They are fun, funny, and have great illustrations, and this book is no exception. Two things I didn't care for, but that didn't ruin the book for me, were that the beaver calls them stupid and the rabbit tells the beaver that everyone hates him. Didn't seem necessary to the story and just felt mean. Otherwise, it's a great longer chapter book for independent readers that still want illustrations.

[Lucy Jane · Rating 5 out of 5]

Again a lovely message about the true meaning of success and the importance of friendship. I really enjoyed this one, I felt it had more humour that was also enjoyable for adults with the engineering beaver being a character we can all relate to as adults. This has been a great series that I can recommend to early readers.

Sweet. Love Rabbit and Bear books!

[Amy Spour (bookish.contentment) · Rating 5 out of 5]

Hilarious, I loved it as I’ve loved all these books. It was taken straight off me by another child as soon as it was out back on the shelf in my classroom too.

[Pip Snort · Rating 5 out of 5]

Funny, warm, kind, clever and generous.

[Nova · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoy this series, especially the humour. This story has a good message about friendship.

Another great story.
My twins asked why there is no cartoon with rabbit🐇 and 🐻!
It would make great story to watch on our screens.
My rating 5*

Love Jim Fields illustrations. Cute story!

[Kirjapallo · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was my least favourite book in this series, because I felt that the work related jargon was geared more towards adults. But it was very good, of course. :)

[Marlee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Such a sweet story. I love this series. My daughter is technically a bit old for these books, but she and I both love them so much, that we don’t care if they are for younger kids.

Fantastic!

Rabbit and Bear wake up to find that the trees in their forest have flown south for the winter... okay trees don't usually do that. It's time to explore and discover whats really going one.

Why I started this book: Rabbit and Bear are great friends and I was eager for more adventures.

Why I finished it: Fun, and I liked that Rabbit and Bear got discuss progress and success. Which is an important topic no matter your age.

My husband picked up Rabbit & Bear A Bite in the Night from our Little Library on our street. It's #4 in the series of 6. I haven't read any of the others.

It's a cute story about friendship and working together to solve a problem. It seems trees are missing in the forest and Rabbit is the first one to notice. Rabbit and Bear hear a loud CRUNCH! and soon discover who is making that noise and why.

Now to return it to our Little Library for someone else to read and enjoy it.

[Rinke · Rating 4 out of 5]

Used it as the read aloud book of April in my kindergarten class. And the kids loved it. The drawings are a great tool to clarify anything for the weaker students while the word choices are challenging enough the keep the older kids interested couple that with a fun story about friendship and a monster living in the forest and the kids are hooked.

[Selina · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Bite in the Night is one of our favourites in the Rabbit and Bear series. It’s a heartwarming story about friendship. We found the characters so relatable. One quote that really stuck with me is:
"Why aren't you worrying?" shouted Rabbit.
"Because worrying doesn't fix things," said Bear. "But breakfast does."
It’s such a simple but wise reminder—and it made us laugh, too!

Cóż Tu dużo mówić? Świetna książka ! Bardzo się przy niej bawiłam. Potrafi rozśmieszyć, nauczyć, a chwilowo nawet zasmucić. Uważam, że jest to świetna książka zarówno dla dzieci jak i dorosłych. Jeżeli chodzi o dzieci, poleciałabym każdemu rodzicowi, aby przeczytał tę książkę swojemu dziecku, bo może wyciągnąć z niej wiele odpowiednich wniosków.
