The Curse of the School Rabbit

Paperback

“The final masterpiece from one of the greatest storytellers and illustrators of all time” – David Walliams

The hilarious story of one boy, one rabbit, and a whole lot of bad luck… From the one and only Judith Kerr, creator of The Tiger Who Came to Tea and Mog the Forgetful Cat!

“Is there a more perfect children’s writer for this generation than Judith Kerr?” Spectator
“A lovely conclusion to [Judith Kerr’s] life in books” Evening Standard
“Funny [and] poignant” The Times

It all started with the school rabbit…

Snowflake is the school rabbit, and Snowflake is TROUBLE.
At least that’s what Tommy thinks. And when Snowflake unexpectedly comes to stay just before Christmas and EVERYTHING starts to go wrong, it looks like Tommy might be right.

With a sick sister left in bed, a snobby actor left with suspiciously damp trousers, and no rabbit anywhere to be seen, Tommy and his family may just be DOOMED.
Is Tommy suffering the curse of the school rabbit? Or can all this bad luck turn good in the end?

A fantastically funny and exquisitely illustrated young fiction title from much-loved author and illustrator Judith Kerr.
