Review | The World of Bunny vs Monkey by Jamie Smart

Review | The World of Bunny vs Monkey by Jamie Smart

Now this is a book that just keeps on giving!

Every time you turn a page, there’s something else to discover. Puzzles, quizzes, facts, funny characters, and all sorts of wonderfully silly things. I loved it!

If you’ve got children or grandchildren who love the Bunny vs Monkey series, they’ll have a wonderful time with this. And even if they’re new to Jamie Smart’s wonderfully mad world, there’s plenty to keep them entertained.

It’s one of those books where you can start reading, get distracted by a puzzle, discover something funny, and then find yourself turning back a few pages because you’ve spotted something you missed.

The illustrations are bright, colourful, and full of energy, with so many little details that children will probably notice things the adults completely overlook.

And I really like that there’s plenty for children to do. They’re not just following a story. They’re getting involved, testing what they know, and having a good laugh along the way.

I can imagine this being a particularly good book for children who enjoy comics and graphic novels, but it’s also a lovely choice for those who aren’t always keen to sit down and read a traditional chapter book.

Would I buy it? Absolutely! In fact, I think it would make a terrific Christmas present. There’s so much packed into it that I suspect children would keep coming back for another look.

My advice? Don’t just flick through the first few pages and think you’ve seen it all. Keep reading right to the end. There’s far more to discover than you might expect.

A fabulous, funny book that’s packed with things to read, do, and enjoy.

Our Rating: 5/5
