Nayu's thoughts
This
sweet bunny series is full of adventure, some mild peril, and lots of
advice on how to handle various situations. In the Amazing
Maze
adventure I was taken aback in a good way by how the maze was created
and what occasion it was built for. Obviously I know what a maze
looks like from a human perspective, but I hadn't though what it
would be from an animal like Berry, whose entire family get involved
in trying to find her. It never fails me how in both books the
Rabbits are terrified of the train, and humans who only want to help them. Ooops it turns out I've previous read and reviewed this book which you can see here.
There are so many
adorable pictures which made my heart melt with the cute rounded
style of the bunnies. I thought Bracken's running away from home tale
in Bracken and the Wild Bunch is a good deterrant to any readers who fancy doing the same thing
when they get ignored or told off – home is often the safest place
to be, and younger bunnies like Bracket don't have worldly experience
to understand what is out there. There's always a happy end to the
books, after much tension and breath holding moments.
