Product Description
Step aboard, buccaneers and book lovers! Comically dramatic illustrations set the tone for this humorous, hare-raising adventure on the high seas.
"BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES!"
Aboard a ship called the Salty Carrot sails a wild, rowdy band of Buccaneer Bunnies. Their leader, Barnacle Black Ear, is the baddest bunny brute of all time, but his son refuses to perform his proper pirating duties. Henry would rather read books than shout "Shiver me timbers!" or make prisoners walk the plank — even if it means he has to swab the decks as punishment. But when a crashing, bashing, thrashing wildcat of a storm threatens the Salty Carrot and its crew, will Henry and his landlubbin' library save the day?

 Swab the Decks! January 11, 2008
My son loves loves loves this book!!! We do not own it but have it from the library. He will be sad when we return it. It is fun to read both for my kiddo and myself. I have not tired of reading it yet and if you have a dry sense of humor yourself (some of the reviewers apparently do not), this is a fun book to own and read!
The illustrations are fabulous and the story is cute and silly. It is a children's book, people - review like it is a children's book! If you are looking for something more cerebral than you ought not be reading kid's books! Also, the dog is not being "killed" per say. I think there is more violence in the Disney classics and Grimm's fairy tales. I would highly recommend this to people as a fun read for kids and parents a like!
Bad Bunnies December 27, 2007
My kids got this recently, and every night, and nap time, my daughter asks for the "bad bunnies." My step-daughter loves it. Even my husband, who rolled his eyes at the silly humor, liked the book. It's a cute story, well written, and the pictures are great.
One of the best childrens book ever November 9, 2007
This book is written very well. It is funny, imaginative, and educational. It promotes the value of reading in an engaging and creative way. My 3-year-old son loves it and we read it just about every night.
 A fun story for kids and adults to enjoy! November 3, 2007
This story is cute and funny. A great book with humor that both kids and adults can enjoy!

This book is classically funny and has a wonderful message for readers of all ages. In this day and age of computer technology it's wonderful to be able to show younger children that books and reading are still the most important learning tool and can get you out of almost any predicament you are in.
In regards to the negative reviews regarding the dry humor (Rabbitson Caruso etc) that actually gave a wonderful opening to share the original historical characters as well as the classic books with my younger children. So they became interested in reading them when they got older.
The "dog" incident was so minor I didnt even notice it til I read the review here but I personally look at it as they dont show them "eating or killing a dog" so its no different than Elmer Fudd talking about turning Bugs Bunny into Rabbit Stew to a child.
