seneschal Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 As a Game Master, I've often used children's books to research history and locations for campaigns. I've also found children's fiction inspirational for plots and monsters. A new book, Battle Bunny, falls into the latter category. An imaginative boy named Alex receives a late Forties children’s picture book, Birthday Bunny, from his grandmother on his 8th birthday. Using eraser and Sharpie pen, he re-writes it as a more energetic yarn, Battle Bunny, in which the titular rabbit endeavors to conquer the forest with assorted Bond villain gadgetry and schemes. The illustrations resemble paintings from a vintage Little Golden Book – adjusted and re-imagined with black marker. Much of the original sweet children’s tale is crossed out and replaced with new comic book style dialogue. http://www.rakuten.com/prod/battle-bunny/247625789.html?listingId=309469131&s_kwcid= http://www.amazon.com/Battle-Bunny-Jon-Scieszka/dp/1442446730 It's a hoot. As usual, I got a copy from my local library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
