Lord and Lady Bunny--Almost Royalty! (Mr. and Mrs. Bunny #2)
by Polly Horvath (Author) Sophie Blackall (Illustrator)
Madeleine wants nothing more than to save money for college, but her impractical, ex-hippie parents are broke. When the family unexpectedly inherits a sweet shoppe in England that has the potential to earn serious profit, they see an answer to all their problems. . . .
Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Bunny--formerly of the detecting persuasion--are looking for new professions, and Mrs. Bunny decides she would like to be Queen. Soon they, too, are headed across the pond. Brought to you by National Book Award-winning author Polly Horvath and Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Sophie Blackall, the adventures of Madeleine and the Bunnys are zanier than ever.
This hilarious sequel to Mr. and Mrs. Bunny-Detectives Extraordinaire! is a bunny-rific tail that even includes a guest appearance by J. K. Rowling a.k.a. Oldwhatshername.

Horvath holds all of this folly together with affectionate characterizations, dazzling wit, and an unflagging commitment to the winding narrative, with Blackall’s familiar ink-and-wash sketches embellishing the tone of skewed bemusement.

Much inspired lunacy and madcap adventure ensues.

Gr 3-6-The indomitable Mr. and Mrs. Bunny, nine-year-old Madeleine, and her lackadaisical parents unexpectedly run into one another aboard a ship bound for England. How did this happen? Well, Mrs. Bunny decided she wanted to be queen, and Madeleine's father, Flo, credits a mysterious box of Pop Tarts and the "synchronicity of the universe." It's a long story, but just as ridiculous, wacky, and humorous as Mr. and Mrs. Bunny, Detectives Extraordinaire (Random, 2012). This romp has even less plot than the first, relishing in its own absurdity and remarkable coincidences, to the point that Mrs. Bunny even meets her translator (Horvath) at a book signing and discovers that the human author has been taking credit for Mrs. Bunny's first book. This sequel does not stand alone, but is guaranteed to delight anyone who loved the forward-driving action and vivacious wit of these good-hearted, unique characters the first time around.
