Gr 4-6--Enthusiastic Jack Russell terrier Fenway and his favorite human, Hattie, encounter a threat (or friend, depending on who is being asked) in the shape of a bunny, in their second adventure. Hattie is asked to bunnysit for neighbors. Fenway is shocked and appalled that she would take this evil, large-toothed creature into their home. He is especially upset because he has been blamed for ruining the Food Lady's (Hattie's mother) garden. Fenway investigates and finds that an evil group of bunnies are on the loose and getting past all garden fences. As he tries to prevent them from doing their terrible work, he keeps looking guiltier. The misunderstandings pile up, and Fenway's extreme jealousy of the bunny doesn't help matters. The episodes get rather repetitive, although children will likely enjoy Fenway's earnestness. VERDICT An additional purchase. Recommend Spencer Quinn's "Bowser and Birdie" series to kids who want tightly written, funny mysteries featuring a dog and his girl.--B.
