The Blurb On The Back:
Follow the adventures of the extraordinary Ambrose in this newly discovered story from the renowned author of The Sheep-Pig, Dick King-Smith, completed by his great-granddaughter Josie Rogers.
I’ve NEVER seen anything like it … Fancy following a trail like THAT!
Ambrose may seem like an ordinary rabbit but he has the most extraordinary sense of smell! He can detect any aroma from sweets to kittens - and even niffy foxes!
He lives with his family in a hutch and is visited every day by Biddy, who is desperate to take him home to be her pet - if only her mum and dad would let her.
Biddy trains Ambrose to become a tracker rabbit - which comes in very handy when Ambrose’s little sister Roll goes missing. But when Biddy’s family find themselves in real danger, can Ambrose’s sensitive nose save the day?
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Josie Rogers has completed her great-grandfather Dick King-Smith’s unfinished manuscript for release on what would have been his centenary, creating an utterly delightful read for children aged 6+ that’s filled with King-Smith’s warmth and wit. The illustrations by Stephanie Laberis are charming and there’s a lovely end note by Rogers. Younger readers will enjoy the adventurous bunnies while older readers will enjoy the sly humour and nostalgia.
AMBROSE FOLLOWS HIS NOSE was released in the United Kingdom on 3rd March 2022. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
