The one I read was an older edition |
Newest edition 1995, Hodder Children's Books, 160 pages, Paperback, Borrowed from a friend
Summary from Hachette Children's
Animal Ark is the veterinary surgery run by Mandy Hope's parents. If
there are animals to be protected or looked after, Mandy is always there
to help.
Mandy's new friend John is crazy about rabbits! He's got
his heart set on Button and Barney, two baby rabbits in the local pet
shop. But when he goes to buy them, they've already been sold! Mandy and
James decide to track down the new owner and try to get the bunnies
back ...
Nayu's Thoughts
This is a sweet tale about a lonely boy who loves bunnies and a vet's daughter
who brings him bunnies and love for his family, which I borrowed from a friend,
Animal Ark is a sweet series that I'm starting to discover thanks to
an animal loving book fangirl friend. I learnt a lot about bunnies
through John's tale, as he needed the info for a school project and
Mandy helped him. I liked that she listened to the advice of the
adults around her, using their wisdom and experience so she didn't
make too many mistakes. The few she made with her friend James she
was eventually able to fix.
I have to say I expected the story to go
differently, I thought that due to the trouble with the wild bunnies
John would end up taking bunnies home and hiding them in the bathroom.
It meant what happened was a pleasant surprise, I like it when books
for younger readers do that! I hope one day to have a copy of this as
it's so adorable, with examples of how to treat people and what to do
when you have a problem.
