Mr. and Mrs. Bunny--Detectives Extraordinaire! | Polly Horvath
4 posts | 8 read | 2 to read
"National Book Award-winner Polly Horvath's latest, a rabbity romp complete with whimsical illustrations and a quirky cast of characters, has both the look and feel of a classic children's book," raves The Washington Post. In this hilarious chapter book mystery, meet a girl whose parents have been kidnapped by disreputable foxes, and a pair of detectives that also happen to be bunnies! When Madeline gets home from school one afternoon to discover that her parents have gone missing, she sets off to find them. So begins a once-in-a-lifetime adventure involving a cast of unforgettable characters. There's Mr. and Mrs. Bunny, who drive a smart car, wear fedoras, and hate marmots; the Marmot, who loves garlic bread and is a brilliant translator; and many others. Translated from the Rabbit by Newbery Honor-winning author Polly Horvath, and beautifully illustrated by Caldecott Medal winner Sophie Blackall, here is a book that kids will both laugh over and love. From the Hardcover edition.

What fun! Madeline and Mrs Bunny both love Jane Austen. Prince Charles is totally cool. This book just made me smile this morning. My bunnies are well behaved. My friend who has the evil eat everything bunnies might disagree. #bunnyausten🐇

“Ah,” said Prince Charles. “I‘ve often heard animals speak. Plants too. It‘s all a matter of noticing, isn‘t it? The richness of our lives depends on what we are willing to notice and what we are willing to believe. Of course, I get crucified in the press for talking to my plants, but it‘s awfully rude not to talk back to anyone who speaks to you, isn‘t it?” #wisewords

"She didn‘t know how to make the other children like her, and she felt she constantly had to defend herself from unspoken accusations about a way of life she hadn‘t chosen to begin with. Well, she thought, who needs them? I bet none of them know how to make plumbing repairs. I bet none of them have read Pride and Prejudice. Twice." ?
