Grubtown Tales: When Bunnies Turn Bad

Author: Philip ArdaghIllustrator: Jim Paillot

Philip Ardagh’s reputation for humour and slapstick is already well established not only in the Grubtown series (of which this is the eighth volume) but also in many of his other novels. How the arrival of lots of rabbits adds to the general chaos and mayhem that feature in the everyday life of Grubtown is only made more unbelievable by the appearance of Rumpus Corncrake, the Sun-Ripe Raisin man… Fans of the series will need no further encouragement to pick up this book and enjoy. Adults should be warned that this is not a book for a quiet reading session – the jokes and funny situations are just asking to be shared by children and whoever else is around! (P.S. As a beardy myself, I enjoy reviewing books by other beardies!!!)
