The Curse of the School Rabbit by Judith Kerr

5.0

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.
