Judith Kerr is one of my favourite author so I knew I was going to like this and I did.
I found the story interesting as it talks about all of the familys. I also found it believable as the picture helped to bring this story to life and see it the events from a childs point of view.
I loved the hand drawn picture as they were so detailed but so simple at the same time which is one of the reasons I love Judith Kerr's books.
I liked how at the end it says that if snowflake hadn't escaped the events to happen later may have never happened and I found that interesting as,at that present time in the story Tommy didnt like snowflake and said snowflake was cursed but after seeing how snowflake changed the family once it left shows the impact snowflake had on them.

buku yang cukup cepat untuk dibaca dan diselesaikan
judulnya mungkin intriguing ya karena kayaknya misterius dan mengandung unsur kutukan. Aku sarankan untuk baca blurbnya dulu, karena ini bukan buku horor dengan karakter kelinci yang bisa mengutuk karakter lain di buku ini. The Curse of the School Rabbit lebih ke slice of life middle grade yang bercerita mengenai kegiatan sehari-hari keluarganya Tommy menjelang Natal. Di buku ini kita bisa melihat apa kesibukan masing-masing anggota keluarga, dan siapa saja yang datang termasuk si kelinci bernama Snowflake.
Menurut aku buku ini cocok dibaca untuk pembaca yang ingin santai aja dan lagi ga butuh buku-buku yang bikin mikir karena bahasa Inggrisnya cukup mudah diikuti, kisahnya maju terus, ga ada plot atau bagian yang membingungkan, pokoknya kita baca aja sampai akhir tanpa mikir.
Selain itu di tiap halaman ada ilustrasinya jadi sangat tidak menakutkan buat pembaca yang pengen baca buku yang santai.

This is an utterly enjoyable story about what happens when the school rabbit is dropped into a family of four who have quite some other problems. And yet, Tom, the older of the two children in the family and the main character has to take care of it although he has rather mixed feelings towards this rabbit called Snowflake who seems to turn things even more topsy-survey, or does it?
What a carefully and lovingly crafted story this is, that evolves around family woes, siblings, pets and mysterious people in the fog. And what kindness can do when you treat a creature that has been given into your care with kindness.
I very much enjoyed reading this beautifully illustrated children's book that I got as an eARC from the publisher. I plan to read this story again, when the days have gone shorter, the fog comes up and Christmas is near.

*Disclaimer: I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This is a cute children's story, brilliantly narrated on audiobook by David Walliams. With it being a children's book, not meant for an adult audience at all, it is difficult to review. Overall I felt that it is something that any animal loving child would love and a book that my son will probably be interested in when he's a little older. As with all of Judith Kerr's books, this had a sense of nostalgia and magic in the mundane. I would definitely recommend for the children in your life but it doesn't really translate for an older reader.
3 out of 5 stars!

This had me smiling away all the way through, who could resist a naughty bunny story?!
Lovely storyline and characters, with a simple, yet intriguing plot perfect for bedtime. More so if there's a cuddly rabbit sharing the bed, I could see myself animating with gusto to this little gem!
There used to be a menagerie of stuffed toys sharing my daughter's bed years ago and she would of loved this between the ages of 3-9 ish.
Certainly a super book for early readers too, complete with really cool little pencil drawings, the facial expressions of the characters were delightful.
I wouldn't expect any less from Judith Kerr, she wrote with simplicity, humour and love.
5 solid stars from me, my grandchildren (if and when I get them!) are going to share this one with me, I absolutely loved it! But then, I am a big kid at heart I suppose.

This is a lovely little story for children.
We enjoyed listening to David Walliams reading it, and found the story light hearted and funny.
