The Royal Rabbits of London is a wonderful children’s adventure story.
Though the runt of the litter and mocked by siblings Shylo steps out of his comfort zone, travels far from home on a mission to save the reputation of the Queen. Fairy tale in style it’s a story of courage, adventure and bravery. With short chapters and wonderful illustrations this is a great book for early readers of chapter books. The story is interesting, showing how Shylo struggles with his fears and steps out of his comfort zone. One I highly recommend and thoroughly.
This is the first in series (not sure how long it will be). My copy was from my personal library.
