This is a very silly book, even more so than Horvath's first about the bunnies, "Mr. and Mrs. Bunny - Detectives Extraordinaire!" This time Mrs. Bunny develops a burning desire to be queen, so they're off to England to somehow make that happen. What a coincidence! Madeline's parents have received word that they've inherited a candy shop, so Madeline, her parents, and her friend Katherine are also sailing to England. They plan to run the shop just long enough to make the money necessary for Madeline's mom to buy a 30-acre plot of land on which to grow organic vegetables. The people and rabbits meet up on the ship where Madeline rescues her furry friends from being thrown overboard. And late in the book, the rabbits return the favor by solving the problem of Madeline's nonexistent college fund. He was educated at a Boy’s School in Karlshamm, Blekinge, Sweden, then University of Lund in Agriculture at Trelleborg. Sweden
