This us the story of Napolean's battle with the bunnies. I enjoyed that there were little French blurbs in the book. However, it is not necessary to know French to enjoy this book. 'Les fluffy bunneez' were so adorable.

Thanks NetGalley

I love this book, it is a very relaxed story, so it makes you wanna continue reading it and devour it in one day, I forgot the date to review it since I've been pending in other readings that are educational (high school). The story was very interesting. Thanks NETGALLEY for providing me with the book

This is a moment in history I've heard before as an anecdote somewhere. There really isn't much more to it than that. And Fox doesn't do much embellishment. Just a weird little moment of embarrassment for Napoleon with some absolutely charming illustrations.

Amazing! Fantastic artwork a nd a great story! Will recommend this book all day long.
Rating 5 fluffy bunnies

Napoleon vs. The Bunnies is a great fictional tale that brings forth a very different kind of battle.

There's lots of great historical facts littered throughout this book, but nothing quite tops the inserted bunny comments that made me smile. It's a fun way to learn a bit about history but also get a fun story out of it. Kudos to Jenny Fox, this book was really sweet.

The illustrations are also fantastic. The faces the people in the book make will leave you grinning.

Overall, wonderful fiction tale for young readers seeking a little fun with a splash of historical context.

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

What a funny little slice of history.

This nonfiction picture book covers the most embarrassing defeat in Napoleon's military career: bunnies. I was not familiar with the incident until this book showed up in my nonfiction purchasing catalog, but when I saw it I just had to learn more. I laughed out loud at the illustrations, and I just adored the 4th-wall-breaking Franglais commentary. As a librarian, however, I can't help but think that this book will draw a very niche audience.

Who is this title for? With big, bright illustrations and cheeky asides, the book would make a fun storytime pick - but does it matter that kids might not have a clue what a general is? The backmatter suggests an elementary audience, discussing Napoleon's life, personality, and military career, plus a glossary of terms like "battalion" and "nobility." The facts of the story, though, are very thin. We get the who, what, where, and when, but it falls apart in the end with a very unsatisfying "we may never know" why he ran away. The story up to that point is told with a breathless excitement, but the ending is more punch line than resolution. I'm glad to have read this title, but I wanted a bit more.

A funny story that is sure to please young readers. I especially look forward to giving it to readers of Who Was Napolean?

This story was really enjoyable as it turned out to be true! I think it is a great story to use to teach kids about history and make it entertaining! The battle scene could have been highlighted a bit more to really show how overwhelmed Napoleon was by the entire experience. The notes at the end seemed rather "quaint" while talking about battles, death, slavery, and inherent patriarchal societal rules. This page needs to be corrected to properly address these issues. History was not cute. Although this was a very cute/humourous story, Napoleon was a brutal leader. During an attack in 1812, he decided to march through a snowy pass into Russia and something like half a million soldiers died. Again, not cute.

Adding: "But in all seriousness OR some less cute things about Napoleon and his time were..." would work as an acceptable segue while still highlighting the atrocities of the past. Kids are smart, they should be given information in a way that appropriately outlines the significance of the events that transpired.

Ok this was just adorable. I loved the style it was done in and the story was just hilarious. I love that it teaches as well as entertains.

Super cute! These illustrations are darling! I love a fun look at history for kiddos...what an awesome way to develop an appreciation for the past!

Everyone knows the story of Napoleon, but they might not know of the war between him and furry enemies. Napoleon vs the Bunnies is a picture book that teaches a historical figure through humor. Fox brings the war between these two foes to life with vivid colors and great art work. The build up will have readers cheering for the confrontation and laughing at the anticlimax. Yet, even with the humorous ending it is still lacking in substance. It seems Fox relied heavily on the cuteness factor to carry the story. A little more substance to both sides of the war would have pushed this picture book to another level

What a fun way to teach the history of Napoleon!! This was such a cute and fun book that I could see this as a tool to easily teach history. The illustrations are beyond cute & the book was easy to not only read but easy for my kids to follow along. This would be a perfect gift for a class library or even to just have in your own home library!

Napoleon - one of the greatest military leaders the world has ever known. He fought many battles, rode into cannon fire without a second thought, conquered vast swaths of land...

But there was one thing Napoleon feared above all else.

Bunnies.

BUNNIES! With their cute lil' bunny eyes.

I loved this picture book - the illustrations are bright, adorable and colorful, and it's full of all sorts of fascinating historical tidbits that will definitely get kids interested in history. Also: bunnies. Adorable, cuddly, fuzzy lil' bunnies! No one is a match for their cuteness. No one.

I read this book to my daughter and she loved it from the pictures to the story she found it hilarious. Napoleon has a great plan to have a bunny hunt, unfortunately, the bunnies have other plans. Also loved how at the end of the book some details were given about who Napoleon was to readers who may not be familiar with this historical figure.

Is this the beginning of a head-to-head history series? I liked the background on Napoleon, but there wasn't much on the actual event with the bunnies. The info at the end was interesting. I'd never heard of this historical event before. Will kids like this book, or is it more for parents?

Napolean vs. the Bunnies is an absolute heart-warming book about a true event in history. It is a story that I had never heard about, and it is one that I would love, love to share with my students.

The story about a famous conquer that allows for a light-hearted discussion is one that I would want any kid to enjoy. I loved how Napoleon was unable to conquer the sweet-eyed bunnies.

The illustrations are a hoot. They are soft and just perfectly tailored to fit the theme of the story. I also loved the inclusion of French dialogue between the characters.

This is ADORABLE! I love learning history like this - so ridiculous that it sounds made up. This book will appeal to young kids learning about the world and learning that even the biggest bullies can be taken down by laughter! This is a wonderful story!

A funny yet historical book for kids, promoting the idea that history can be fun! Especially when the French and bunnies are involved

This book was sent to me for review from netgalley.

So this story is focused around napoleon and gives you some background information and then focuses on a lesser known fact about him focused around bunnies!

What i really liked was the humour, the use of french vocabulary and the illustrations. But my I felt the book needed to be longer, I know it’s based of a non-fiction event but I feel like the book left me wanting a bit more of a storyline. You get the arc but then the story kind of stops there and because it’s presented like fiction you are left a little hanging. I love the little facts at the end of the book, but I wanted more fiction I guess than fact, I wanted to see the bunnies getting up to mischief and things like that... maybe I have watched and read too much Peter rabbit!?

All in all the books is enjoyable and has a lot of potential, I just wanted a bit more story.

This book focuses on one of Napoleon's lesser-known battles. That is, an occasion when his desire to go hunting was stymied by the friendliness of the proposed victims. I enjoyed reading this book and found myself learning little tidbits about French history that I hadn't been expecting. The author has a lovely sense of humor, and the story is just right for emerging readers. I'll have to explain that "les fluffy bunneez" is not real French, but that's okay.
