Polly Horvath was thrilled to learn that Mr. and Mrs. Bunny recently returned from Los Angeles where Mrs. Bunny was recording the audio version of Mr. and Mrs. Bunny - Detectives Extraordinaire.
Mr. Bunny said he was not impressed by the lack of rabbits who had their own stars on Hollywood Boulevard. And the only one he could find was still stuck by his fur to cement! "They ought to invent a non-fur-sticking cement," he said. In fact, he's decided to hop right on it!
Mrs. Bunny said she had a wonderful producer named Dan Musselman. She is sorry to say that they had a little trouble with marmots getting into the studio. But that's apparently not unusual in Hollywood. -
Polly will be reading at Harbourfront in Toronto, Thursday, October 27, at 12:30pm in the Brigantine Room. Click here for details.
