I’ve never heard of this character but I love the character design on the book cover. He looks very friendly

Raymond Briggs, the creator of Fungus, may be more famous for "The Snowman". He produced a large number of illustrated books, several of which were made into films or TV specials.

Has a cartoon movie or series adaptation?
