The Curse of the School Rabbit by Judith Kerr

Written from a child’s viewpoint, this charming story is reminiscent of stories I read as a child. It has a very classic feel, although it is written in the modern day.

Tommy doesn’t like Snowflake (the school rabbit) as it had peed on him. So when it comes to stay and things start to go wrong, he blames the curse of rabbit - including dad not getting the job and Annie getting ill. Then one day Snowflake goes missing, Tommy is desperate to find it before anyone misses it. After this, things start to improve, Dad gets a job, Annie get better - so was the rabbit cursed after all?

This story written by the late, great Judith Kerr has the potential to become a modern day classic and I’m sure it will delight families and new readers aged 6+.
