Another fantastically fun monster-fighting adventure with the Princess in Black and Blacky. This time the monsters are bunnies, but don't let their fuzzy exterior distract you. They are just as dangerous as the rest of the creatures in Monster Land.

This is the most ridiculous in the series so far and I loved it. Same short chapters and simple word choice. Same general storyline, but things are definitely heating up as Princess Magnolia works to keep her secret identity under wraps. I love the variations in the monsters and getting a peek into how the princess manages to keep the goats safe from the monsters in Monster Land while still keeping up with all of her princess engagements.

Nice illustrations that go well with the fun narration.

Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Another fun read aloud, good for any age and gender.

Third book in the series is particularly loony, all good fun of course, humorous and easy to read, whilst being engaging, but realistically you would have to say to really is totally insane. Anyway have fun with that and join the craziness.

What a lot of fun! And the Hungry Bunny Horde is pretty terrifying.

January 2019 - a great addition to the series. But I really just love saying Frimplepants!

EXTREMELY CUTE.

Another fun adventure for the Princess in Black. Princess Magnolia and her unicorn Frimplepants are on their way to brunch when they are summoned to the goat pasture to deal with monsters. But, what they find are cute little bunnies. Adorable bunnies, true, they eat anything in sight, but they are cute and fluffy. Will Princess Magnolia be able to stop the bunnies? Does she need to stop the bunnies? Are they really just cute little bunnies?
Good for ages 7 and up.

My favourite so far. Kiddo loved it.

If you read the first two books with your kids and then were about to give up, do not do so! When I read the second book, about Princess Magnolia's birthday, to my four-year-old twins I was disappointed. Just like the first one, the princess has someone snooping around as she runs off to fight monsters. Also, there was no payoff on the Goat Herd Boy wanting to become a super hero. Sure, this book series is for Kindergarten to Second-Graders, but it was just too repetitive.

But then I read this one and it really redeemed things by changing things up. This time we have bunnies rather than monsters and no one is at risk of discovering Princess Magnolia's alter-ego. It also features more character development for the unicorn/horse - Frimplepants/Blacky. Finally, there are hints that the authors will eventually pay off the Goat Herd plotline.

Does it seems like I'm being overly critical or over-analyzing a book for little kids? It's only because, as someone who's been parenting for 8+ years now, I can easily say that most kids' books SUCK SO HARD. There are a few gems here and there([b:Leave Me Alone!|27414464|Leave Me Alone!|Vera Brosgol|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1451244885l/27414464._SX50_.jpg|47463602]), especially the classics (like many Dr. Seuss books), but so many of them are so annoying - like watching kids' cartoons. Yeah, I'm not the target audience in either case, but in both cases I end up being exposed to it by virtue of the kids being so young. So when I read the first Princess in Black book and got to experience some jokes that I enjoyed and great artwork, it was like a good Disney or Pixar movie - it appeals to both kids and adults. That left me with high expectations that I felt were dashed with the second book. However, as I said, this third entry really redeemed the series and I can't wait to read the fourth one to the kids - especially since it clearly changes things up with The Princess going on vacation.
