But one day she and her brother Max are rushed out of Germany in alarming secrecy, away from everything they know. Their father is wanted by the Nazis. This is the start of a huge adventure, sometimes frightening, very often funny and always exciting.Judith Kerr wrote When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit fifty years ago, based on her own journey, so that her own children would know where she came from and the lengths to which her parents went to keep her and her brother safe. It has gone on to become a beloved classic that is required reading for many children all over the world and is an unforgettable introduction to the real-life impact of the Second World War.

Book SynopsisThe final masterpiece from one of the greatest storytellers and illustrators of all time David WalliamsThe hilarious story of one boy, one rabbit, and a whole lot of bad luck From the one and only Judith Kerr, creator of The Tiger Who Came to Tea and Mog the Forgetful Cat!Is there a more perfect children's writer for this generation than Judith Kerr? SpectatorA lovely conclusion to [Judith Kerr's] life in books Evening StandardFunny [and] poignant The TimesIt all started with the school rabbitSnowflake is the school rabbit, and Snowflake is TROUBLE.At least that's what Tommy thinks. And when Snowflake unexpectedly comes to stay just before Christmas and EVERYTHING starts to go wrong, it looks like Tommy might be right.With a sick sister left in bed, a snobby actor left with suspiciously damp trousers, and no rabbit anywhere to be seen, Tommy and his family may just be DOOMED.Is Tommy suffering the curse of the school rabbit? Or can all this bad luck turn good in the end?A fantasticallTrade Review“A funny satire of the film industry, a poignant comment on sibling differences and a timely reminder that we should try to see the good in all sorts of rabbits from an author who lived her life by that maxim.”Alex O’Connell, The Times “[The Curse of the School Rabbit] possesses all of [Judith Kerr’s] trademark qualities: lyrical artwork, a gently anarchic plot and the warmth and humanity that made her work immune to shifts in publishing fashion. And perhaps what is most impressive in an author of 95: the unfailing ability to see the world through the eyes of a child.”Emily Bearn, The Telegraph Review “The last work by the much-lamented Judith Kerr is The Curse of the School Rabbit, a lovely conclusion to her life in books…a very funny story about a little boy and his theatrical little sister and his efforts to do his best by everyone. The pictures are a joy.”Melanie McDonagh, Evening Standard “Kerr’s distinctive pencil illustrations convey the chaotic fondness of family life throughout her last story.”Imogen Russell Williams, The Guardian Review “Is there a more perfect children’s writer for this generation than Judith Kerr? . . . The author was a genius, with an affectionate sensibility. The deceptive simplicity of her stories and her capacity to see things from a child’s point of view were very rare gifts. Thank you, Judith Kerr.”Melanie McDonagh, The Spectator “The final work from the irreplaceable Judith Kerr, The Curse of the School Rabbit is suffused with her distinctive good nature and sly mischief.The tale of a naughty bunny and their exasperated young handler pops with Kerr’s singular artwork and stands as a shining testament to her unique storytelling skills.”Waterstones “A new family story full of Judith Kerr’s hallmark good cheer, this will delight readers of all ages.”Julia Eccleshare, Book of the Month
