The Rabbit Ate My Homework by Rachel Elizabeth Cole introduces 11-year-old Drew who does not want a rabbit; he thinks, in fact, that they are rather stupid. Drew has a sister who is just as annoying as rabbits. It is his sister who blackmails him. You see, she knows what actually happened to his bike. It is this knowledge she wields that convinces him to hide one of those annoying furry critters in his closet! The problem is his parents have said 'no pets' and he is sure if his parents find the animal he will be grounded until junior high. To make matters worse, Drew has to deal with some mean girls who start a prank war with him.
Oh, what a fun romp of a story this is! Drew is like a lot of little boys that I know through family and friends. I truly did find this an endearing book and what really stood out for me is that there was no big learning lesson tackled. Yes, those kinds of books are important too, but this was just a good compelling read. It is short and sweet with phrasing and sentence assembly perfect for the intended age group. The book is neither too fast as to be overwhelming for a child or too slow as to cause boredom. A bit like how the phrase goes in Goldilocks: it is just right. I would not hesitate for a moment to read this one to or with a child and plan to bring it to my nephews for a read soon! A must-have for anyone with children in the family.
