Content
Rabbit Hibiscus has a carrot-worthy idea: He wants to go camping by the sea with his two best friends, Maxi Mouse and Tom Bear.However, Tom Bear is too big for the car. Issues also arise when they go boating in an inflatable, and even sleeping in a tent together isn’t that easy with three friends of such different sizes. All too quickly, you’ll end up with a mouse toe in your nose or a rabbit ear tickling your knee.
However, as Hibiscus declares, “Impossible is not an option!”, because best friends always find a way. After all, having a too-large friend can also have its advantages.
About the Series

The stories are characterised by a large dose of humour, making reading them aloud truly enjoyable for both young listeners and adult readers.
