A very silly story about bunnies trying to survive on their own and playing tricks on bullies. While it is initially amusing, I suspect that it won't hold up even for young readers.

OMG, this book is adorable! So, Flop, Biggie, and Boingie are these cute little bunnies who have to survive in a public park after their mom leaves them to become a jiujitsu master. The big, scary world is full of challenges, with dogs, squirrels, and raccoons making things tough. But then Flop finds a letter from their mom that changes everything. They start thinking smarter, not harder, and even get some help from other park animals.

I read this with my friend's kids The humor is so quirky, and the animal names and funny puns had us all laughing. The illustrations are super charming and give each animal so much personality. We especially loved the details on the “time machine.” I kinda wish the pictures were in color to give it more depth and help the kids connect even more.

Big thanks to Anna Humphrey, Irma, NetGalley, and Penguin Random House Canada/Tundra Books for the ARC. This is my honest review, and we can’t wait for more adventures with these little bunnies!

Buns Gone Bad is an Fluffle Bunnies origin story, about how Flop, Biggie, and Boingie learn about some hard truths in life pretty quick when their mother leaves to learn jiujitsu.

First, they leave their nest on search of food, only to not find any, having their net over taken by squirrels and being chased by dogs. With some quick thinking and a little bit of raccoon manipulation will they be able to over come their hardships, and become rulers of the park?

The book was a cute origin story in how the Fluffle Bunnies became tuff bunnies & taking the power into their own paws- changing their bad luck into a plan on overcoming everything that was thrown their way.

Here is what my 9 year old had to say:

"I liked it, it was funny, and silly. Easy to understand, and I liked the illustrations."

Perfect for fans of the Bad Guys and ages between 6 through 8, this book is an easy read with plenty of illustrations throughout. 4⭐ out of 5 ⭐.

Abandoned by their mother, bunnies Flop, Biggie, Boingy must now fend for themselves in a public park. They soon find that the big world is a scary place for little bunnies. The park is filled with other animals and people who make life a little rough for the fluffy bunnies. When Flop finds a letter that their mother left behind it entices them to change their ways. Thinking smarter not harder all while eliciting help from some other park dwellers.
Overall rating 4 / 5
I read this book with my 6 & 9 year-olds and they thoroughly enjoyed the quirky humor and story line. I loved how the animal names seemed spot on and funny puns. The illustrations were charming and gave the animals so much character, our favorite was the details on the “time machine”. I would love to see the pictures in color just to have more depth and connection with children. Both of my kids stated that they would definitely read a second one if ever made.

*Thank you to Anna Humphrey and Irma, Netgalley and Penguin Random House Canada l Tundra Books for the ARC copy. I am freely leaving my honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. These opinion are completely my own.

I adore that this book was based on facts then exaggerated for my entertainment. It's a very cute illustrated novel and I believe children will love the characters and the story. Im still not happy with those Chipmunks

Funny story about three motherless bunnies that are up to no good! Kids are sure to love the quick read and graphic novel format. Definitely adding to our collection.

This was a somewhat very wild read about fluffy bunnies, but nothing is as what it seems to be at first, and it goes dark and crazy real fast. It was bad, but in a good way. It was a wild ride. One of the weirdest (yet good) wild bookish rides lately!

Three fluffy bunnies live in the park and are eventually abandoned by their mother when they are weaned. Three fluffy bunnies soon become the evil overlords of the park by using their bunny brains and learning from their experiences. Funny.

Four STARS!

The cover was a bit offsetting for me as I do not like scary stories and these bunnies look evil. Then I meet a lightning bug who is talking to me in the way that some of my favorite book characters talk to the reader. I learned that the babies were abandoned by their mother. Being on their own, there are mishaps as they learn the ropes of fending for themselves. Very funny laugh out loud mishaps. The interplay between the raccoons and the bunnies is a hoot! The illustrations are even better than I could imagine throughout all of the hijinks in this story! Black and white certainly allows more action and drama and even sweetness than I would have guessed. Thank you, NetGalley, for the opportunity to read it before printing.

My students will love this series. I look forward to more of these not so Fluffy Bunnies!

Well, these bunnies certainly went bad. I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't this. I thought the bunnies would get in to mischief and play some pranks, I didn't expect the destruction, the deceit, or the bullying from all the animals. The graphics were great and showed the story well but the story itself was very mean. There's bad and there's destructive. Hopefully the bunnies and the other animals grow out of this truly mean behavior and learn some good life lessons.

Please forgive me I put the wrong review on this title. I shall amend that on Goodreads.

Kids will love this fun story of a group of bunnies whose mother leaves them alone in the park. Yet just because they are alone doesn't mean that they can't fend for themselves. When animals start to encroach on the bunnies homes they take it into their own hands to defend their den. Through some quick thinking and very cunning means the bunnies are able to create a safe home for themselves.

Thank you to Penguin Random House Children, and Netgalley for allowing me to read an advance copy of this title.

Flop, Biggie, and Boingie, three wee bunnies, are left to fend for themselves when mom leaves to become a jiujitsu master. The real world outside their hole is terrifying—encountering dogs, squirrels, and raccoons. As the bunnies learn more about their surroundings, they learn they can put their wits to become kings of the park! Will the raccoons fall for their tricks? VERDICT: Fans of the bad guys will enjoy a similar style of illustrations and humor. Although the original plot with their mother is left behind, the bunnies wish to rule the park is quite a random turn of events. A silly but fun story.

Thank you to @Penguin Random House Canada for the ARC. I know my students will enjoy this book very much. The loveable rabbits are so cute but so mischievous. They need to survive now that their mom has left them on their own. Finding a safe place is number one priority, but some chipmunks and raccoons have other ideas. My students will enjoy this book very much.

Buns gone bad is a rather silly tale of three young bunnies that once abandoned by their mother decide to take on the world. While the first attempt did not go well, the manipulation of the raccoons changes everything. I know this book is intended for a young audience and so its humor is rather repetitive. I also see that it is geared to be a series. The scenes are well depicted and the bunnies are great. I think it will have a good appeal for those interested in graphic novels that are silly.

It's was a great idea, I was even very interested in the tone of the plot and the characters although I felt it was kind of rushed. I thought it was a short story, and only in my opinion it can keep getting better. What I did have a good time for this first part 😅. I hope that franchise improve showing all their potential next book

This was such a quick fun read. Kids will love the characters and the mischief. Would recommend to kids who like any graphic novels - Diary of a Wimpy Kids, Timmy Failure, etc.
