3.25 - cute, bienveillant et divertissant ; j’y ai moins trouvé mon compte que dans le premier mais timmy me fait tjrs autant sourire et les auteurs sont géniaux à inclure plein de formats dans le livre : très chouette pour des enfants

After closing the first book in this series, a few weeks ago, I wanted more. I fell in love with the little brave rabbit Shylo and with the wonderful world Montefiore crafted. Unfortunately the next books weren't translated in Dutch, so I had to get the English ones. (No problem at all, but if I had known that I might have gotten the first one in English too!)
And although this book was just as amusing as the first book in the series, I want to start this review with saying that for me something was missing. The first book truly was about this small rabbit, laughed at and bullied, who had to untangle a huge mess and become a hero. And it was a very cute and empowering story. In this book there is so much attention for all the other characters, that it's sometime as if Shylo isn't the centre of the universe anymore. And I understand he's not, but I'd love him to be.
But, apart from that I did enjoy reading this book a lot! I love the wonderful world of the Royal Rabbits and the American Rabbits and the Foxes and the Rats. I love how the Corgi's are incorporated in the story, even though they're not the main characters. I love how fascinating and almost magical this world is and how it's not even that unthinkable that this is going on right under our noses while we have no idea.
It's a little bit like reading a James Bond story for children. It has epic fights, danger and wonderful situations where characters have to be brave and work together. Especially kids will really enjoy this exciting adventure and it's not a punishment for adults to read it too.
But, I do hope that in the third book Shylo is back to centre stage. He deserves that!
