Review:This book is about how Bunny and Jack the raccoon investigate to figure out how the trombone goes missing, who is taking it, and why.The trombone is being taken from Mr. Riley's store every evening and is returned to the store every morning.
Critique: This is a good fantasy book because Bunny and Jack are investigators, talking, riding in taxis, and making hot cocoa which would and could not happen in real life. The author does a great job at making Bunny and Jack seem real and personable.
