Tons of bunnies, lots of chocolate, and one big competition. Join Mandie and James in the fun!
Such an adorable bunny story. It's great to read right around Easter.

This was a fun book with plenty of great information about rabbits in here. Solid story.

I think this book is sad and exciting in some parts because in one of the parts Mandy thought that Pixie has been ill and might not be able to compete. I think this is a great book because it is also funny in one of the parts Angelica didn't eat the chocolate that was given to her and she accidentally threw it on her chair and sat on it. When she stood up Nadia noticed and started laughing it was so funny. Also in the story I kind of felt sad that Angelia didn't win and happy at the same time because she doesn't deserve to win anyway. I felt really excited that Nadia won even though her rabbit was sick she still was able to win it because the judges was looking for a happy,curious,and friendly rabbit.

I think this book should be recommend to people who likes animals.

It was a okay book, but nothing exciting really exciting happens and I thought it was convenient how on the show, Pixie does the cute act and Princess Powderpuff bites the judge....

Four stars because the bunny could have died and I didn't like that.
