Essentials

By day, Hopscone Luxe Bunny is rarely spotted. By night, she’s the voice of Luxe FM: spinning hophip dance tracks and providing the odd weather update (usually a guess). With mottled fur, a mellow voice, and a growing fanbase – including Bartholomew Bear, who swears her playlists give him stage presence – she’s a natural on the mic. Her cousin Bashful Bunny is a regular listener, though she admits the late-night air horn segment takes some getting used to… Any requests? She’s live from 9. Velvet ears perked, volume up!

Horticus Hare will never miss a call to cuddle with those ears! Soft and sweet in biscuit fur with oatmeal tummy and paws, Horticus is sat back on wide haunches, showing those big back feet and flat cream tail. The perfect companion with the sweetest face.

Amuseables Hot Chocolate with Marshmallows is the ultimate pajama party host. Cozy nights in are her specialty – complete with playlists, blanket forts, and just the right number of marshmallows (two, obviously). She’s a very diligent host: matching mugs, bedtime story rotations, and a firm lights-out policy. Not that anyone listens, except Smudge Lamb – though she’s pretty much always asleep. Steady, sweet, and full of charm, she’s always warm – even when Ricky Rain Frog forgets his slippers again.

Mustard and thrills. Amuseables Hotdog’s dream combo. A fairground fiend, he’s first in line for every ride, from spinning teacups to the loop-de-loop (even if his bun gets a little windblown). The louder the screams, the bigger his grin – though he does insist on holding someone’s hand at the top. Safety, after all, is key. Catch him by the candyfloss stand, plotting his next rollercoaster run. And yes – he’s got a season pass.

Children naturally want to help, and with the support of the new hardcover book, “How to BEE Helpful” they learn to practice understanding, express consideration for others’ needs, and offer their helping hands with compassion. In this new story, the Caring Crew teams up and uses their unique skills to help Honey Bee save her home. Ibex, Otter, Sloth, Honey Bear, and Yeti model teamwork, empathy, and how to foster a sense of community by offering support.

From the creators of the New York Times bestsellers How to Babysit a Grandpa and How to Babysit a Grandma comes an equally charming and hilarious holiday offering!
