Things are off to a rocky start as Honey Bunny\u2014who\u2019s made of melting honey\u2014oversleeps, but Muk Muk the moose rouses her by pulling the Emergency Bunny Wake-Up Lever. Conflict arises as the two disagree over which invention to enter in the convention: the Nut-o-Roombots vs. the Fort-a-Potty. Or maybe the Sweet-N-Sour-Smooth-E-Chomp-R? But Honey doesn\u2019t listen to Muk Muk and bulldozes ahead. When a storm cancels the convention\u2014and reduces all the inventions to rubble\u2014a furious Honey Bunny vows revenge on Mother Nature: \u201cShe started this fight, but I will end it!\u201d Attempting to rein in the maniacal Honey Bunny, Muk Muk encourages her to brainstorm, but she blows him off, and he works on his own inventions\u2014all of which successively fail. Perhaps collaboration is just as crucial as creativity when it comes to inventions? Bean\u2019s artwork evokes old-time Hanna-Barbera cartoons, and the string of improbable Rube Goldberg\u2013esque devices and resulting mishaps keeps interest high. The social message\u2014more prominent than in the first book\u2014adds a bit more gravitas, but there\u2019s plenty of goofiness here, too; Muk Muk\u2019s spiel in defense of the Fort-a-Potty, reminiscent of infomercials, is especially charming.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
