Mr. and Mrs. Bunny--Detectives Extraordinaire by Polly Horvath is beautifully weird and wacky, with thought-provoking undertones.
Madeline has always felt protective of her artistic hippie parents.
When they are kidnapped by a nefarious gang of foxes, though, she's not
quite sure where to turn. Fortunately for Madeline, Mr. and Mrs. Bunny
have recently embarked on a career as private eyes. Will these
well-meaning but inexperienced detectives be able to help Maddie rescue
her parents?
The plot sounds farfetched, I know, but this is a
fun (if slightly surreal) read, and there are a lot of one-line zingers
that made me giggle. Fans of juvenile literature, particularly Horvath's
other works, will probably enjoy this book.

I've had this on my ipod for weeks now but haven't got around to listening to it yet. It looks cute though.
