Review: Lately I’ve been seeking out nice books, the kind that you just sit down to enjoy, and The Royal Rabbits of London fits perfectly into that category.

Shylo is a brave and smart but doesn’t realise his full potential because he’s the runt of his litter, so he fills the role that his family have set up for him. Then one day he overhears a plot against the queen and ends up on his way to London to warn the Royal Rabbits.

As Shylo is so endearing the story is even more engaging. I enjoyed coming along on his adventure. The whole set up of the Royal Rabbits of London is a fun idea.

Given the way the book ends it implies there are more adventures to come so that should be something to look forward to.
