This book was originally a birthday gift to a boy named Alex from his Grandma. But Alex decides to take matters into his own hands and recreate the cute birthday book into something much darker. Now, the book is no longer called "Birthday Bunny" it is called "Battle Bunny!"
This book was actually a little hard to follow. Since it has the qualities of a young boy crossing out words and drawing in pictures, there are actually two stories in one. You can still read the "original" text about the birthday bunny underneath the marker used to cross out the words. It is a funny book and a cool concept but the book does seem a little busy now. I would definitely appeal to the boys in the classroom though!
I would give this book a 4 out of 5 because of the fact that it was a little hard to follow. Other than that I love the concept and the content.
