What’s it about?
The story.
Monkey is still trying to be evil, Bunny is still trying to stop him, and the woods are still somehow surviving the consequences. In this third collected Bunny vs Monkey volume, the comic rivalry expands with fresh disasters, villainous schemes and more pressure on Bunny, Pig, Weenie, Action Beaver and the rest of the gang to keep their home from collapsing into total nonsense. The League of Doom setup gives the book a playful good-versus-evil flavour, but the series remains fundamentally joke-driven: what matters is the pace of the punchlines, the wild expressions, the ridiculous inventions and the sense that every plan will go wrong in the loudest possible way. It is a highly accessible, full-colour graphic novel for readers who enjoy recurring characters but do not want long stretches of prose or complicated plotting.

In the classroom
How it works in school.
Pure reading-for-pleasure fuel and a brilliant reluctant-reader hook — a forest comic kids race through, and a strong bridge into independent graphic-novel reading.
A book children love that happens to support school — never a stand-in for the texts a class is taught with. Reviewed for the classroom · June 2026.
Why it lands
Why they love it.
Why kids love it
The specific delight is the villain team-up — every antagonist a reader has met across two books finally rolled together as the League of Doom. A seven-year-old who knows the cast gets to see Bunny's gang properly outmatched, which makes the eventual chaotic victories funnier.
- Adventure and freedom
- Breaking the rules safely
- Having a nemesis
- Revenge on adults
- Trickery and cleverness
Why parents love it
The Bunny vs Monkey villain team-up volume — every recurring antagonist rolled into one ridiculous League of Doom. Best read after the first two; the cast jokes only work if the kid already knows who Skunky, Le Fox and the badger are. One of the most cohesive in the run.
- Shared humour
- Quick to read
- Indie gem discovery
