Henry & the Buccaneer Bunnies

By Carolyn Crimi

Book Overview

"The illustrations are fresh and comical and send a clear message about the importance of reading." --School Library Journal

Step aboard, buccaneers and book lovers! On the Salty Carrot sails a wild, rowdy band of Buccaneer Bunnies, led by Barnacle Black Ear, the baddest bunny brute of all time. His son, Henry, would rather read books than shout "Shiver me timbers!" or make prisoners walk the plank, even if it means swabbing the decks as punishment. But when a crashing, thrashing, bashing wildcat of a storm threatens them all, will Henry and his landlubbin' library save the day?

Customer Reviews

One of the best childrens book ever

This book is written very well. It is funny, imaginative, and educational. It promotes the value of reading in an engaging and creative way. My 3-year-old son loves it and we read it just about every night.

Chock Full of Laughs and Fun

This book is classically funny and has a wonderful message for readers of all ages. In this day and age of computer technology it's wonderful to be able to show younger children that books and reading are still the most important learning tool and can get you out of almost any predicament you are in. In regards to the negative reviews regarding the dry humor (Rabbitson Caruso etc) that actually gave a wonderful opening to share the original historical characters as well as the classic books with my younger children. So they became interested in reading them when they got older. The "dog" incident was so minor I didnt even notice it til I read the review here but I personally look at it as they dont show them "eating or killing a dog" so its no different than Elmer Fudd talking about turning Bugs Bunny into Rabbit Stew to a child.

Hurray for the geeks

This book is hilarious, wonderfully illustrated, and rich in delicious, pirate-like language. This is a light-hearted tale that illustrates why everyone needs to read.

Avast ye mateys...

Bunnies at Sea

Once again Carolyn Crimi has written a book filled with adventure and humor that will please children as well as the adults who will be asked to read this book over and over. The illustrations are lively and fun.
