A pup recently promoted to the K9 unit must help solve the mystery of the missing bunnies in author Donna Carr Roberts’s “The Adventures of Mr. Fuzzy Ears: The Mystery of the Missing Bunnies”.
The Synopsis
The Adventures of Mr. Fuzzy Ears: The Mystery of the Missing Bunnies is the second in this children’s book series. Mr. Fuzzy Ears becomes a K9 Police officer to help discover why all the bunnies have disappeared. He is aided by Sweekie, the mouse from the cupboard and other animal friends guiding him to the wandering rabbits. Like so many of us, the bunnies are mesmerized by ‘screen things, ‘ oblivious to what’s happening in the real world and with these distractions, bad things are happening. Can Mr. Fuzzy Ears remind them of the value of family and love in the real world?
The story is complemented with warm watercolor illustrations created by the author.
The Review
This was a heartwarming and engaging children’s book. The warmth of the watercolor illustrations immediately drew me into this narrative. The fun aspect of these animal detectives and the mysteries will capture the children’s minds and hearts immediately, and the suspense of this book is a great introduction to the mystery genre for younger readers.
The theme and message of this book really will speak to both parents and children alike. The dangers of overuse of technology, from smartphones and video game consoles to television itself, is truly a relevant subject in this world we live in. The need to find a great balance between technology and the world around us is so important, and finding our love for our family and nature itself is a great message that plays out wonderfully in this mystery read.

Engaging, thoughtful, and memorable, author Donna Carr Roberts’s “The Adventures of Mr. Fuzzy Ears: The Mystery of the Missing Bunnies” is a must-read children’s book and illustrated picture book.
