Henry and the Buccaneer Bunnies

Candlewick, 2005. Illustrated by John Manders.

Most bunny pirates enjoy plundering for bunny booty. Not Henry. He’d rather read. The other pirates make fun of Henry until a terrifying storm changes their mind.

I’m not sure why I’ve been so lucky with illustrators. Must be all those eyelashes I pluck out of my head to wish on. But I’ve got to tell you, John Manders is absolutely perfect for this book! I wouldn’t be surprised if he has long, floppy ears and a fluffy white tail. (Do you, John?)
