A good read for your children, or anyone who enjoys reading children's books. Kunoichi Bunny is about Saya, her dad, and her stuffed animal bunny Kunoichi.

Thank you to Orca Book Publishers for the e-ARC of Kunoichi Bunny!

This wordless graphic novel about a girl & her bunny saving the day is SO STINKING CUTE. Def recommend that everyone gets this for their children!!

This book was so sweet. The illustrations are beautiful, the silent story that unfolds is tender and as a mother I really thought it was all quite nice. The issue I have with the book is that as a mother of a 5, 4, 2 year old and baby, it was clear to me that looking at the photos the kids had no clue what the story was. They enjoyed the pictures but without me providing context the story really was only appreciated by myself. My 5 year old got the gist without explanation but even then it was more of a "that's nice" reaction then something he would seek out to enjoy again.

Thank you to NetGalley and Orca Book Publishing for providing a digital ARC for review.

A sweet little girl saves the day anytime she sees something going wrong by throwing her plush bunny at it. Make sure to look at the definition of Kunoichi in the back of the story. A simple cute story. shows a diverse city area with Asian American main characters.

I absolutely loved this book, and 100% will pick up a copy when it is published. The art is beautiful, and the concept (I don't want to spoil it) is not something I have ever come across before. Just.....love love love love love. Everything. Perfect.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the sneak peek!

I enjoyed this story. It was a quick read and it had practically no words, but the story was conveyed clearly and beautifully. She knows more than she seems, and uses her tool, the kunoichi bunny, to achieve her goals, whether it is saving a child or notifying a parent, or even making an older woman smile with the simplicity of peekaboo. The Dad interacts with his daughter and Kunoichi and knows the importance of keeping the bunny around even though he doesn't realize the feats it does. I love seeing the world through this little girl's eyes, and I love the ease and innocence of the perspective we are given.

Thank you NetGalley and Orca Book Publishers for the ARC. I'm looking forward to seeing more from this author and illustrator.

adorable picture book about a stuffed bunny who saves everyone. the fact that the father doesn't notice is like a secret we're let in on, too.

Everyone has a favorite toy or stuffed animal that they brought everywhere. In this vividly illustrated book it reminds us of those days.

Kunoichi is a mostly wordless and absolutely adorable picture book about a young girl out for a walk with her father and her Kunoichi Bunny (ninja bunny). Unbeknownst to her father, the little girl is constantly looking out for others with the help of her Kunoichi Bunny. She helps another child in a stroller, she saves a boy on the slide, and even cheers up a sad woman on the bus. Throughout all of this, Kunoichi Bunny is being put through a lot as he is thrown about the place - and the father only gets involved when having to pick it up. But the story ends in a very sweet way as the father seems to understand the significance and importance of Kunoichi Bunny in his daughter's life even without knowing all the adventures that the two get up to when he is unaware.

Super cute. Lovely artwork and a sweet story. Wish the formatting for the ARC was better so that I could enjoy the pictures more. This is the kind of chill, fun, sweet book that my kids would have enjoyed a lot as toddlers

An absolutely precious story about a stuffed bunny who proves again and again that there's a reason stuffed animals are vital to have. Every page made me smile, and the repetition of the father retrieving Kunoichi was so charming! Love it!!

This wordless picture book is set up like a graphic novel, making it hard to decipher the intended audience. The style is geared more toward 7 and up, however, the main character is a toddler in a stroller with a stuffed bunny, Kunoichi. The art is really nice and the story is easy to follow, with the child using the bunny to stop cats from fighting, to save another baby in a stroller, etc. So the story and style make it better suited for older kids but the characters and picture book-format make it better suited to younger kids.

It's a beautiful day in the neighbourhood so Saya and her dad head off to the park. Saya and her stuffed bunny Kunoichi cuddle together in her stroller and off they go.

Dad is in his own happy zone taking in the beautiful sights of their adventure knowing his daughter is safe and enjoying the outdoor break as well. As their journey progresses Saya becomes aware of dangerous scenarios that demand her immediate attention. She notices two cats hissing and fighting and she tosses her ninja-bunny between the two and separates them from harming each other. Success! Later on the bus she throws her beloved Kunoichi under the wheels of a child's stroller to prevent it from a dangerous roll towards the stairs. More opportunities arise for the little one to use her ninja skills via Kunoichi to save people from peril.

Dad is oblivious to her brave and heroic antics. After a very busy and tiring day, on the way back home, Saya falls asleep and her coveted bunny accidentally falls out of her hands onto the sidewalk. Luckily her dad notices and retrieves it. Once inside their house he puts it into the laundry to tidy it up then after it dries he tucks it in with Saya who is already comfy and sleeping in her bed... ahhhhh... finally peace!

I love this wordless picture book delivered in a graphic novel format. This style allows the reader to use their imaginations as they become the narrators of the tale. The illustrations are colourful, bold and well-able to stand alone without any text. The book will inspire kids as they will learn that no matter what your size you can make a huge impact on your world and become superheroes if and when needed just as Saya did. I highly recommend "Kunoichi Bunny" by the award-winning author Sara Cassidy.

A sweet, brief picture book with virtually no text. A young girl in a pushchair is taken around the city where she uses her sharp observational skills, excellent throwing arm, and toy bunny (Kunoichi) to prevent a series of mishaps. Charmingly illustrated.

This book was super super adorable, i absolutely love story books that can convey their tales though only illustrations, and Kunoichi Bunny succeeds in doing so. The art style is cute and playful with its colorful and youthful drawings, which is sure to attract the attention of many little kids just beginning to pay attention to picture books.

The message of the story is simple and easy to understand, and there’s an important lesson to be learned from Saya throughout these pages. I love how it conveyed this lovely child as an observant girl who pays attention to her surroundings and understands when someone is struggling or is in danger. The clever use of her animal toy was a great tool in delivering a message of helping out others in times of need, and essentially treating others with kindness no matter who they are.

The spotlight is on Saya in this book but her dad was also an awesome character for making sure that Kunoichi always made it back to Saya’s arms, especially at the end of their day’s adventures. Thoroughly enjoyed this one, thank you so much to NetGalley and publishers for allowing me to read an arc of this book.

This story was absolutely adorable. Though there are no words besides Kunoichi, this story tells a lot. Its a fun story about a girl and stuffed bunny as they go about their day and have small victories to help the neighborhood around them.

Enjoyed reading this book to my niece and has a good meaning about helping out others and the art work is also very cute and well done.

Kunoichi Bunny is a wordless picture book, which shows that the misadventures of a child’s stuffed rabbit are actually caused by the child’s quick moves to save the day again and again for those around her, while out for the day with her father.

Sweet illustrations will give eager eyes plenty to take in.

This is such an adorable book. I love the art and the story is so simple and also wholesome. It follows a day in the life of a child and her stuffed bunny as they go on mini adventures around town. It kind of reminds me of Rugrats, as Saya and Kunoichi manage to help out quite a few people through well-timed meetings and interventions. I think children, older readers, and parents can all find something to enjoy in this short tale. For children, they can imagine themselves and their own stuffed animals helping people while older readers and parents can enjoy the art style and reminisce about their childhood animal friends. Overall, a delightful book that I'm glad I came across.

I cannot wait to share this book with my students. In this wordless picture book, a little girl prevents several disasters by throwing her ninja bunny into the mix. She breaks up a cat fight, stops a stroller from falling out of a bus, saves a duckling from a sewer grate, and keeps a boy from getting hit by a stray baseball. The cute illustrations will appeal to my students.

Thank you to the Orca Books and to Net Galley for providing me with an ARC in exchange for my honest review.
