A propos du livre

Revue de presse

* “An enthusiastically taboo, devil-may-care outing for combat fans—and a great writing inspiration to use on old books headed for the bin.” (Kirkus)

* “A hilarious and transgressive story with a clear message: Don’t suffer schlock.” (Publishers Weekly)

* "This deliciously subversive piece of metafiction skewers--with sharp wit and a sharper pencil--the earnest, purposeful literature so popular in the middle of the last century." (Booklist, starred review)

* "This is a perfect book to give independent readers who are looking for something a little different. The unique layout and design will inspire creativity in readers." (School Library Journal, in a starred review)

* "Battle Bunny makes for great entertainment: it's funny, the plot builds, and the protagonist captivates readers' attention. It also begs to be reread and shared. Kids will be eager to compare notes and to relive it with their friends." (Shelf Awareness, starred review)

A “Best 2013 Books” in the Children’s Picture Book category! (Publishers Weekly)

A New York Times bestseller (The New York Times)

"This book says 'Welcome!' to children." (The New York Times)

"It’s all very clever...." (The Horn Book)

* "The resulting text is thus an honest reflection of the ways kids interact with books—in a way that’s accessible to kids themselves—as well as a complexly layered work of comic genius." (BCCB, in a starred reviewe)
