About this book

Two naughty bunnies have kidnapped the Great Hypno and instead they are showcasing their own series of magic tricks. For their finale, they want to collect the jewellery of everyone in the audience. Luckily, there is some magic going on backstage that will get the real magician out in time to save the day. Those bad bunnies will get their comeuppance when they are the forced to become the stars of the final trick – the cannon of doom!

With her trademark stunning illustration and exciting page design, a new book from Mini Grey is always an event worth rolling up for. The simple text still carries of laughs (‘hey pristo – near misto!’) and the detailed artwork is rich with colour and character. Watch the side bars for the activity behind the stage, too...

This is a wonderful, inventive and playful picture book that will delight young children and their parents alike.

About the author

Mini Grey was given her name after being born in a mini in a car park in South Wales. After taking a foundation Course in Fine Art, she studied for an English degree at UCL, afterwards working as a theatre designer, then a primary teacher, before studying for an MA in sequential design at Brighton University.

Mini's first picture book for children, Egg Drop, a surreal story of an egg that dreams of being able to fly, was published in 2002. It established her as both a visually exciting illustrator of detailed, colourful artwork and a highly accomplished storyteller, who often narrates from an unusual point of view, such as that of the pea in The Pea and the Princess (2003) (shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway illustration award); the biscuit in Biscuit Bear (2004) - winner of the Nestlé Smarties Gold Prize (under 5s category) - and the spoon in The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon (2006).
