The Princess in Black and the Hungry Bunny Horde (Princess in Black #3)
Description

It's a case of monstrous cuteness as the Princess in Black encounters her biggest challenge yet: a field overrun by adorable bunnies.

Princess Magnolia and her unicorn, Frimplepants, are on their way to have brunch with Princess Sneezewort, an occasion Frimplepants enjoys more than anything in the world. But just when he can smell the freshly baked bread and the heaping platters of sugar-dusted doughnuts, Princess Magnolia's glitter-stone ring rings. The monster alarm! After a quick change in the secret cave, Princess Magnolia and Frimplepants are transformed into the Princess in Black and her faithful pony, Blacky.

But when they get to the goat pasture, all they can see is a field full of darling little bunnies nibbling on grass, twitching their velvet noses, and wiggling their fluffy tails. Where are the monsters? Are these bunnies as innocent as they appear?

Grades K-2. Princess Magnolia and her unicorn, Frimplepants, are on their way to brunch when her monster alarm rings, demanding help from her crime-fighting alter ego, the Princess in Black. Their friend Duff (the goat boy) needs help battling an invasion of cute bunnies that are eating all his goats’ grass. Unfortunately, the PIB can’t see beyond their adorable fluffiness, so she delays her response until Duff points to one of the evil lapins chomping on his goat’s horn. But by then the horde’s numbers are too great for the PIB’s ninjaesque efforts to have any effect. It takes the persuasive talents of her faithful steed Blacky (who understands and speaks the language of Cuteness) to convince the ravenous rabbits to return to Monster Land. As in the earlier titles, Pham’s watercolor-and-ink illustrations add to the humor by playing with the stereotypes the text exposes. It’s also nice to see Blacky’s considerable skills on display. This third series installment is sure to be popular.
