Synopsis
As every year, Bunny looks forward to parking her camper van in a peaceful spot, and enjoying her usual routine of relaxing amongst nature - on her own. To her horror, she wakes up to find a noisy purple monster camped right next door! At first she is delighted when a storm blows away his tent, but then she can't help but take pity on his plight, and gradually realises that doing things together can be more fun than solitude.

Bunny has a wonderful holiday every year. She takes her caravan and parks well away from everyone else. She enjoys all sorts of activities and always has a fabulous time. But this year, a monster has parked next to her and is spoiling her enjoyment. Then she realises she needs to help him after a storm and discovers that it is way more fun to do all the activities with a friend.
Bunny's Most Fabulous Holiday Ever! is a delightful book, starting off in muted colours until the monster turns up and makes Bunny's life so much more colourful and interesting. The illustrations are full of humour and whilst the message is simple, the text does not talk down to children and uses great vocabulary, exactly what I love in a picture book.
This is Brian Fitzgerald's first solo outing as a picture book author (he previously illustrated The Bear who had nothing to wear by Jeanne Willis) and I think it is a real triumph. The combination of the message and the humour is just perfect and I'm going to look out for Brian Fitzgerald's future books with pleasure.
