Description
"The $7.50 Bunny That Changed the World" is the story of Flopsy Parker who was dropped off at a North Carolina shelter in the fall of 2010. By 2011, after he had trained his mother Gretta to be his ghost writer, he was inspiring people on Facebook with his message of adoption and helping other rabbits around the world that needed homes.
Written for children from ages 8 - 12, this delightful, heartwarming, and real-life story, as told from Flopsy Parker's point of view, is sure to tweak bunny bones in children of all ages.
"The $7.50 Bunny That Changed the World" is a tribute to his life, the people he inspired, and proof that even the smallest of creatures can live the biggest of lives.

Advance Praise
This book, written by Gretta Parker, brought a tear to my eye and a knot in my throat as I read the last few pages out loud. Parker dedicates this book to her bunny, Flopsy, and goes into detail on how Flopsy changed her life and other peoples’ as well. From the moment they saw each other Parker was drawn to Flopsy. We have all heard of people who make Facebook pages for their dogs and cats, but Parker made one for Flopsy! The bunny inspired her to form a non-profit company based on adopting bunnies. She also inspired her to do many other things. You will say after finishing the book that Flopsy was more than just a pet; he was Parker’s son.
This type of inspiration is wonderful. I think that when you care
about something so much, you will want to do all you can to let the
world know how much you love this person or, in the case of Parker,
animal. There are so many things in this world to inspire us. For
example, I am inspired by the beautiful country of Ecuador. This country
makes me want to write numerous stories about it and about my family
that lives here. Parker also recounts the passing of Flopsy. It is
always sad when someone considered part of the family dies, but I think
that what made this story more heart-wrenching was the fact that the
whole story was written from Flopsy’s point of view. That means we are
in Flopsy’s head when he starts to get tired and finally never wakes up.
But, there is a silver lining here. From Heaven, Flopsy becomes the
Angel of Bunny Adoptions. J.R. for Reader's Favorite
