It was fun to see that the Bunnies’ mom was going to learn karate. It had raccoons in it that flooded the bathroom. The chipmunks stole their nest and the mom came back learning karate. It was a funny book.

Fluffle Bunnies: Buns Gone Bad

This story starts, as stories often do, with a tragedy.

Three bunnies are left without their mother when she goes off to Brazil to learn jiujitsu.

The bunnies, Flop, Biggie and Boingie, learn some hard truths about life pretty quick: squirrels will take over your cozy nest as soon as you leave and refuse to give it back, dogs are to be avoided at all costs and raccoons will believe anything you tell them.

With quick thinking, ingenuity and maybe a little bit of raccoon manipulation, these three buns will take on all comers to be the rulers of the park. Will they win?

Well, this IS an origin story . . .

For fans of The Bad Guys series, this is the origin story of the terrifying group known as The Fluffle: three bad-bunny kingpins.

“I liked that the Bunnies tried to own the whole park. The raccoons thought the bunnies gave them wishes. The mom knew jiu jitsu. I thought the book was funny.”
