About this book
Bunny lives peacefully in the woods with his friends Pig, Weenie the Squirrel and Action Beaver. Their tranquil life is shattered with the arrival of Monkey, a loud, rude and thoroughly annoying megalomaniac. Convinced he has landed on a distant planet, he renames his new home Monkey-opia and declares he will rule as supreme emperor.
Monkey is befriended by Skunky, a genius inventor with a secret underground lair. Here he creates brilliant gadgets for Monkey, such as a chicken-shaped zeppelin which dispenses rotten eggs and the formidable Doomsday Device, designed to destroy everything of beauty, annihilate all happiness and bring misery to the woods.
Packed full of hilarious short stories, this bumper collection of cartoons covers an entire year of adventures for Bunny and Monkey. Off-the-wall characters, wacky storylines and hilarious comic-strip illustrations ensure there are plenty of laughs on every page.
This edition combines the first two books of the previously published Bunny vs Monkey series, Let the Mayhem Begin and Journey to the Centre of the Eurg-th, featuring all the fun in a slightly smaller format. There is also a step-by-step guide to drawing Bunny and Monkey at the end of the book.
