Bestselling author Jeremy Strong (My Brother's Famous Bottom) returns with new future-classic tales from the Big Forest to warm your heart.

Armadillo and Hare live together in the Big Forest. Armadillo loves cheese sandwiches. Hare loves playing tuba. In this delightful set of stories, they have a new neighbour in the Big Forest - Bear (of the polar variety!). Bear has brought his drum kit with him. Hare is excited, but Armadillo is decidedly NOT. A collection of charming stories, with beautifully whimsical illustrations by Rebecca Bagley, about sharing what we love with new friends.
