Karen's Bunny!
So. Let’s start with the cover. The bunnies appear to be chewing on flowers that are growing throughout the entire plant bed and up the path. Even though the neighbour who’s flowers these are had a complete hissy fit over her beautiful flower. ONE flower. There’s two bunnies there too, in the book only Andrew’ escapes next door. But those are just cover-canon errors, and we know those all too well. I’m not sure it was ever part of LS canon that ANDREW HAS AMPUTATED LEG STUMPS HE CAN LEVITATE WITH.
Also, my cousin had hair like in the early 90s. He shaved the sides and bleached the top. I’d be willing to overlook Andrew’s dodgy hair and put it down to Lisa-Engle-being-a-tightarse-who-only-ha
Now, onto Karen. She’s also sporting a fine pair of footless nubs except on closer inspection they could almost be Crocs! She only has two fingers on her left hand and that godawful facial expression leaves something to be desired. Are these two shocked at the fact their bunnies are eating the neighbours precious flowers or are they having their temperature taken rectally?
Karen wakes on Easter morning to discover a baby bunny nestled underneath chocolate and candy in the easter basket at the end of her bed. How do you get baby bunnies to sit in baskets long enough to cover them with chocolate eggs and then have them on your kids beds until the kids wake up, Lisa and Seth? What if they’d suffocated? I was never allowed to put my baby bunny on my bed because if they jump off they have soft bones that could break.
Karen’s rabbit chewed on some wool from a sweater and was RUSHED to the vet. Now I’m not sure about you guys but a visit to my local vet costs at least $80, easily more if they actually have to do something other than examine your pet. A baby bunny can be bought at any pet shop for $7-10 dollars. Just saying!
How much harm could a little bit of wool do to a rabbit anyhow? Would it really tie itself into a million knots around their intestines or whatever? Stereotypical hallmark card kittens chew on balls of wall everyday. My rabbit once massacred my favourite shirt and did it die? Erm no.
So as we all know. Karen Brewer is the root of all evil in the world. She’s the reason that I broke my ankle in Spring. She is the reason my fish died yesterday. She is spawn of the devil, and what has she done this time?
Andrew is playing a cat in a play, you see and Karen suggests he wear her tiger striped pants. Because obviously Karen Brewer has tiger striped pants, fyi her daddy is a millionaire. Andrew wants to wear his own sweatpants because Karen’s are too big on him. But this is Karen we’re talking about here.
“No no no, they’re perfect, they just need to be pinned.”
Predictably on the day of the performance, Karen forgets the clothespin! And Andrews pants drop to reveal Winnie-The-Pooh underwear to his entire class.
Poor Rocky. He looks skinny and angry. Maybe Seth The Bearded Carpenter doesn’t feed him enough? What's with the bunnies hutch too. I hope theres like little ramps down the other sides for the bunnies to climb down. I think Seth is a very sucky carpenter.
In the end, Karen and Andrew's bunnies are relocated to Andrew's kindergarten because their class pet, Tommy Joe the gerbil, sadly passed. I think Tommy Joe is an awesome name for a gerbil! I can totally imagine a class of 4 year olds coming up with that name too.

Overall this book sucked, with the exception of Andrews Pooh Bear panties. Why don’t more things like that happen to Karen!
