À Noël, c'est connu, le Père Noël descend du ciel pour apporter des cadeaux aux enfants. Simon et son petit frère Gaspard ont tout préparé avec leurs parents : un sapin décoré, un goûter pour le voyageur en traîneau et ses rennes. Mais aïe ! Il neige à gros flocons.

En allant manger des crêpes chez Ferdinand, Simon se rend compte qu'il a mal, très très mal, à une dent. C'est une très grosse carie dans la molaire gauche. Il faut faire quelque chose ! Aller chez le dentiste ? Pas question ! Faire une piqûre ? Jamais de la vie ! Mais parfois, les mamans de Superlapins ont le dernier mot. En voiture, Simon, et direction le cabinet dentaire ! Installé de force dans un fauteuil de torture vert, la bouche tartinée de pâte à la fraise, Superlapin n'écoute que son courage.

Gaspard et son grand frère Simon ont passé une journée de rêve à construire une Méga Giga Grande Cabane trop stylée ! Mais c'est la nuit maintenant, et il faut dormir. Aïe ! Gaspard a oublié son doudou dans la cabane. Sans doudou, pas de dodo ! Que faire ? " Gaspard, va chercher ma cape ! " dit Simon. C'est décidé. L'heure est grave. Il est temps pour Simon de révéler à Gaspard qu'il est Superlapin, un superhéros capable de braver les ténèbres pour rapporter son doudou à un petit frère sans défense...

Simon adore la petite maison où il est né. La quitter pour une plus belle ? Impossible. Pas question. Pourtant, quand son petit frère Gaspard manifeste son inquiétude à son tour, Simon trouve les mots pour lui parler du déménagement.

Simon, alias Superlapin, est contrarié. Quand sa maman les a mesurés, lui et son petit frère Gaspard, elle a trouvé que Gaspard avait beaucoup grandi : trois centimètres ! Et Simon, un peu seulement : un ridicule centimètre. Du coup, Simon voit des injustices partout. Fâché ? Pas seulement. Triste aussi. Et au bord de détester Gaspard, le chouchou de la vie... Heureusement, au square, il suffit qu'un grand tente d'embêter Gaspard pour que Simon retrouve son rôle, sa place et son amour de frère le plus grand, le plus protecteur.

Alors, dès que quelqu'un lui dit quelque chose comme : " Va au lit ", il répond : " Patate pourrie ! " Aller au lit, quelle torture, quand on n'arrive pas à dormir.
