Bunny Vs Monkey (2020) - a compilation of book one and two
#1 Bunny Vs Monkey: Let the Mayhem Begin! (2014)
Why we love it:
- The absurdity of Monkey's wild schemes and Bunny's calm, clever responses creates an endless loop of funny moments.
- The humour is fresh and appealing, making it perfect for younger readers who enjoy goofy misunderstandings.
In Jamie Smart’s first Bunny Vs Monkey story, Monkey is accidentally blasted into the woods due to a failed experiment. Monkey believes he has been sent to rule the forest and decides to wage war against its peaceful inhabitants, including Bunny – a smart and sensible woodland animal. Monkey teams up with his sidekick Weasel, an inventor of bizarre machines that they use in their attempt to take over the forest. Meanwhile, Bunny, along with his friends, must outwit Monkey and prevent his chaotic schemes from destroying their serene home. This is a fantastic start to the series with the audience introduced to the central conflict between Bunny’s clever problem-solving approach and Monkey’s chaotic and reckless nature.

Why we love it:
- The importance of teamwork and helping one another is a core theme.
- The underground setting adds fresh excitement.
The second instalment in the Bunny Vs Monkey series builds on the madcap antics of the first book. Monkey and his sidekick Weasel once again devise wild and destructive plans in their ongoing quest to rule the forest, but they accidentally create an underground catastrophe. A sinkhole opens up, sucking Bunny, Monkey, and their friends deep into the Earth. This fresh underground setting adds a new dimension to their rivalry and opens the door to creative, humorous situations.
#3 Bunny Vs Monkey: The Stench (2016)
Why we love it:
- Although the story centres on the ongoing conflict between Bunny and Monkey, the introduction of the stench adds a new, creative twist that keeps things fresh.
- It has the perfect mix of silly humour and clever problem-solving that keeps you wanting more.
In the third Bunny Vs Monkey book, the rivalry continues to escalate, this time with a new environmental disaster in the forest – an unbearable stench! This sudden odour causes panic and confusion among the woodland creatures and becomes so unbearable that Bunny, Monkey, and their gang of friends are forced to confront it and figure out where it’s coming from. Of course, Monkey and Weasel are somehow involved in this disaster, and their attempts to solve — or worsen — the problem only leads to more chaos. Bunny Vs Monkey: The Stench keeps up the fun, lighthearted tone of the series, delivering more laugh-out-loud moments, absurd inventions, and hilarious character interactions.

They’re mysterious and unpredictable, and their presence causes strange phenomena in the forest. As always, Monkey believes he can use this to take control of the forest. Bunny and friends, on the other hand, must deal with the Wobbles and outwit Monkey’s harebrained schemes before everything goes completely out of control. It's another fun-filled story packed with action and humour and the unpredictable nature of the Wobbles.

Why we love it:
- Weasel’s latest inventions, combined with the weirdness of the Wobbles, create some of the funniest moments in the book.
- It’s fun to see how this new, mysterious force throws the characters into more unpredictable situations.
The title character of book five, Destructo, is an indestructible robot built by Monkey’s ever-loyal sidekick, Weasel. Monkey believes that Destructo will finally give him the upper hand over Bunny and the other forest animals. However, as is typical in the adventures of Bunny Vs Monkey, things don’t go according to plan. Destructo becomes a source of both danger and laugh-out-loud moments as it starts causing unintentional chaos throughout the forest. Bunny, ever the clever soul, must figure out how to stop this before it wreaks too much havoc.
#6 Bunny Vs Monkey: Apocalypse (2019)
Why we love it:
- The book is fast-paced with something crazy happening on almost every page.
- The lovable supporting characters, including Pig, Skunky, and Le Fox, all return to help Bunny in his mission, adding warmth to the story.
Monkey’s delusional ambitions get out of control in book six when he accidentally triggers a series of events that could lead to the ‘Apocalypse’ in the forest. This catastrophic threat is a mix of natural disasters, environmental mayhem, and disastrous inventions. Bunny subsequently has to keep his wits about him as he works with his friends to save the forest from total destruction.

Why we love it:
- The sheer oddity of a floating cow in the forest fits perfectly with the offbeat humour of Bunny Vs Monkey.
- Jamie Smart continues to show his creativity with unique storylines and unexpected twists.
Chaos in the forest continues with the discovery of a cow that can float that quickly becomes the centre of attention for both Bunny’s gang and Monkey’s crew. Of course, Monkey sees this floating cow as an opportunity to further his ambitions of conquering the forest, while Bunny tries to keep things under control as the situation spirals. Bunny vs Monkey: The Floating Cow Catastrophe! delivers another dose of wacky, fast-paced, and humourous adventures that fans of the series have come to expect. The combination of absurdity, inventive storytelling, and lovable characters makes this volume a must-read for anyone who enjoys lighthearted, laugh-out-loud comics.
#8 Bunny Vs Monkey and the Human Invasion (2021)
Why we love it:
- The presence of humans, construction machines, and new technology ups the ante for the chaotic events in the forest, making it a thrilling read.
- Subtly touches on real-world issues of conservation and habitat preservation, which adds more depth to the comedic story.
In this volume, the peaceful forest where Bunny, Monkey, and their friends live is disturbed by the arrival of humans bringing construction and environmental disruption. Ever the opportunist, Monkey sees this as a potential advantage and attempts to team up with the humans, but things go hilariously wrong. Bunny and his friends must figure out how to protect their forest and deal with Monkey’s schemes along the way. The animals’ usual quirky personalities come into play here, with Pig, Skunky, and others contributing to the chaotic attempts to fend off the human invasion. Readers will love seeing how the characters react to this new, bigger threat and how it changes the dynamics of the forest.
#9 Bunny Vs Monkey and the League of Doom! (2021)
Why we love it:
- The interactions between the League members, as well as their confrontations with Bunny and his friends, provide plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.
- The returning cast of forest animals and their unique personalities contributes to the humour and action whilst being familiar.
Bunny Vs Monkey and the League of Doom follows Monkey boosting his schemes by assembling his own team of like-minded characters to form the League of Doom. The concept of the League of Doom is a playful parody of classic supervillain teams found in superhero stories. Monkey’s group, however, is hilariously incompetent, and their attempts to be evil masterminds are more comical than threatening. Each member of this villainous group brings their own peculiar skills and traits, which, of course, leads to even more slapstick disaster and plans gone awry. Enter Bunny and friends who must now face this supervillain threat using quick thinking and clever plotting. This volume delivers the same fast-paced humour, slapstick comedy, and lovable characters that fans of the series have come to expect, while creating new energy with the supervillain theme.
#10 Bunny Vs Monkey and the Supersonic Aye-Aye (2022)
Why we love it:
- The Aye-Aye’s speed keeps the action fast-paced and energetic, making the story feel more dynamic and engaging.
- Monkey’s overconfidence that the Aye-Aye will be the key to his success is a central theme that makes for a hilarious read.
The central focus of this volume is the arrival of the Supersonic Aye-Aye, a mysterious, lightning-fast creature who suddenly appears in the forest. His super speed causes a lot of mayhem in the forest, as he zips around, creating chaos and confusion. Monkey, of course, tries to recruit him into his schemes, hoping the Aye-Aye’s abilities will finally give him an edge over Bunny. But his speed is both a gift and a curse, as he often moves too fast for his own good, leading to plenty of slapstick mishaps and hilarious outcomes. Bunny and co try to deal with the new challenge and outsmart Monkey and the Aye-Aye, whilst also figuring out how to keep the forest from descending into complete chaos due to the Aye-Aye’s uncontrollable speed. Book 10 continues the series’ tradition of wild, funny adventures that readers of all ages will enjoy.
#11 Bunny Vs Monkey: Rise of the Maniacal Badger (2022)
Why we love it:
- The introduction of a more serious villain while maintaining the series’ signature humour shows Jamie Smart’s creativity and ability to keep the story fresh while building on the established dynamics between the characters.
- Monkey’s rivalry with the Badger adds a new layer to his character and provides a lot of the humour in the story.
The story kicks off when a new villain, the Maniacal Badger, enters the scene, threatening to take over the forest in a way that neither Bunny nor Monkey have faced before. Unlike Monkey, whose plans are often absurd and hilariously doomed from the start, the Badger’s plots are more calculated, making him a serious threat to everyone in the forest. Monkey is suddenly outshone and is jealous, forcing him to reconsider his usual strategies. At the same time, Bunny and his friends must band together to stop this new villain causing irreversible damage to their beloved forest. Monkey’s rivalry with the Badger, along with Bunny’s clever strategies, makes this an engaging and entertaining addition to the series.
#12 Bunny Vs Monkey: Machine Mayhem (2022)
Why we love it:
- It’s enjoyable to see how each new invention creates more chaos than the last and how Bunny and his friends have to deal with the madness.
- The interactions between Bunny, Monkey, Weasel, and the rest of the usual gang are as funny and entertaining as ever.

With fast-paced action, slapstick comedy, and the lovable dynamic between Bunny and his friends, this volume delivers everything fans of the series love — along with a high-tech twist.
#13 Bunny Vs Monkey: Multiverse Mix-Up! (2023)
Why we love it:
- Monkey’s plans fall apart in even more spectacular ways than usual.
- The multiverse concept allows for inventive storytelling, keeping the plot dynamic and adding fresh surprises.
In Bunny vs Monkey: Multiverse Mix-Up!, the chaos in the forest expands beyond its usual boundaries when the characters are thrown into a multiverse filled with alternate versions of themselves and new wild realities. Created from a machine that Weasel invented, Bunny must figure out how to close the portals and restore order to their reality before Monkey causes irreversible damage. As they journey through various alternate realities, the gang encounter everything from robotic versions of themselves to dinosaur-filled worlds and even a universe where Pig is the smartest character. Each new universe brings its own set of challenges, jokes, and outlandish twists, offering a fresh and hilarious take on the beloved series by Jamie Smart.
#14 Bunny Vs Monkey: The Impossible Pig (2023)
Why we love it:
- Pig’s sweet and naive nature contrasts perfectly with Monkey’s selfish and conniving personality, a dynamic that creates much of the humour.
- Bunny and his friends stick by Pig, believing in him even when they don’t fully understand what’s going on, showing the importance of friendship and sticking together.
In this volume, the spotlight shifts to Pig, one of the more lovable and innocent characters in the series as he becomes the centre of a huge misunderstanding. Pig accidentally gets involved in an experiment by Weasel, Monkey’s inventor ally, and as a result, everyone begins to believe that Pig now has extraordinary abilities – powers that could turn him into a key player in the ongoing battle between Bunny and Monkey. But Pig doesn’t really have superpowers, but his natural clumsiness and kind heart keep inadvertently foiling Monkey’s plans and causing unexpected outcomes, making it seem like he really is unstoppable.
#15 Bunny Vs Monkey: Bunny Bonanza! (2024)
Why we love it:
- We see Bunny taking on a leadership role, showing his character development and ability to inspire those around him.
- The emphasis on friendship and teamwork provides a touching contrast to the chaotic humour, making the story not only funny but also heartwarming.
The story of Bunny Vs Monkey: Bunny Bonanza begins with Bunny discovering that a mysterious Bunny Festival is set to take place in their forest. Excited by the prospect of fun, food, and festivities, Bunny rallies his friends to prepare for the event. However, Monkey sees the festival as an opportunity for mischief and chaos. He hatches a plan to ruin the festival and take advantage of the festivities to implement his own schemes. The volume captures the spirit of camaraderie and the joy of celebration, making it a must-read for fans of all ages.
